Been thinking of a lot of things
But I just can't get it to work
Been putting my good foot forward
But they always harp on my quirks
Got the gig, got there right on time
Everything run like clockwork
Too indifferent, too this or that
And you end up feeling like a jerk
Been dreaming of the salad days
When everything seemed to work
Everybody get a piece of the pie
Everybody in the same network
Now I gotta get your approval
And all I get is a smirk
Been dreaming of the good ol' days
But I just can't get it to work
Use your delusions, delusions
I'm living in a fantasy world
Been living in a fantasy world all day
Been thinking of a lot of things
But I just can't get them to work
Keep my mind trapped in a place
Where my troubles no longer can lurk
At bat, swinging for the stars
But I gotta get back to work
Delusions of fortune and fame
From an ordinary desk clerk
Been dreaming of too many things
When reality no longer works
Can't see what's in front of me
Replace it with a story that works
This illusion is getting too strong
And my mind is going berserk
Been dreaming of too many things
That I just can't get to work
Use your delusions, delusions
I'm living in a fantasy world
Been living in a fantasy world
It's the only way
I just, just can't, can't get it to work
I just can't, can't get it, can't get it to work
All that you've shown me
Made me so lonely
So much confusion
Use your delusions
Make your own story
For your own glory
It's the only way
I just, just can't, can't get it to work
I just can't, can't get it, can't get it to work
