The dawning of a bright new day

But in my bed I want to stay

No strength to face things ahead

Just wasting away until I'm dead

​

I can't go on but it won't let go

I'm a slave to sin I can't say no

I'll give you my soul if it isn't too late

Now give me the key to open the gate

​

The power of life flows through every vein

And scrambles the messages from my brain

Recharged and ready, back on top

Full steam ahead no time to stop

​

Things aren't really as bad as they seem

At least not in my magic dream

Lack of cash is my only hitch

I could dream forever if only I were rich

​

Reality beckons and the nightmares arrive

And I begin to wonder if I'll survive

I'll never make it to the days end

Without the help of my magic friend
