Searching every day
Looking every way
Trying to make a connection
To find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet
Who doesn’t know
He is close to perfection
Choice is the question
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look, then they would see
It’s our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

Can you understand
That in every man
There’s a need to unwind
That’s never been defined
Somewhere deep within
There’s another being
You are somehow abusing
By the person you’re using
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if you care to look, then they would see
It’s our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

Travelling faster than lightning
Closer than ever before
We can go on for you, and take you nearer to
The legend of mystery from the beginning of time
Dreaming… TIME… Dreaming
We can return to the land of the good and the kind
TIME… Dreaming… TIME… Dreaming
Why don’t you come to our party and open your minds

In another place
There’s a newer face
Like an unfinished painting
Your creator is waiting
The brush and pen describe
What it is inside
That will set your mind thinking
While the others are sinking
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look, then they would see
It’s our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, oh yeah
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
