I'd rather be dreaming than living 
Living's just too hard to do 
It's chances not choices 
Noises not voices 
day's just a thing to get through 
Living's just too hard to do 

I'd rather be dreaming than talking 
There's nothing to hear or to say 
With ears covered mouth closed 
The world is opposed 
Nothing gets in or away 
There's nothing to hear or to say 

I'd rather be dreaming than thinking 
Thoughts are [bad word] to me 
Dreams might be pretend 
But at least dreams end 
And I just can't stop thinking you see 
Thoughts are [bad word] to me 

I'd rather be dreaming than sleeping 
Just sleeping you're just as well dead 
In dreams I can fly 
In dreams I don't die 
That's why I lie here in this bed 
Just sleeping you're just as well dead 

I'd rather be dreaming
