It's just a fantasy It's not the real thing It's just a fantasy It's not the real thing. But sometimes a fantasy Is all you need. - Billy Joel

But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
Granted, this world is not a perfect place.
Still it's the world that I'm in.
Here I am talking while you don't hear a word I say.
Knowing you're watching me from far away
Somewhere that I've never been.

Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
They threw an American flag in our face.

You can get just so much
From a good thing.
You can linger too long
In your dreams.
Say goodbye to the
Oldies but goodies.
You know the good ole days weren't always good,
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.
