Ever since I was a kid
   I remember having dreams of grandeur
   I was gonna be someone, I know what I want
  
   Everybody played second best
   And I held you back just like all the rest
   I think I got what I want
  
   Everybody's got to fight their demons
   And you know I had to fight mine, too
   It took a lot out of me, it took a lot out of you
  
   To be Living In Oz, Living In Oz
   Sometimes the dream can wake you
   Living In Oz, Living In Oz
   Sometimes the dream can shock you, too
  
   All the money that I spend on you
   Doesn't mean a thing if the love's not true
   Baby please, I'll get what you want
  
   Can't you tell me you and me ain't lost
   I know what I did, I know what it cost
   Now I'm yours and I've got what you want
  
   All the fightin' will have been for nothin'
   If at the end I can't have you
   I'll throw it all away if that's what you want me to do
  
   Living In Oz, Living In Oz
   Sometimes the dream can wake you
   Living In Oz, Living In Oz
   Sometimes the dream can shake you, too
  
   Funny how desire can burn you up inside
   And make you commit emotional suicide
   Everybody's got the desire to leave their mark
   Some just do it over a trail of broken hearts
  
   And all the people that protect and serve
   Would disappear if the well dried up
   I'm thirsty for affection
   Let me drink from your loving cup
  
   Living In Oz, Living In Oz
   Sometimes the dream can shock you
   Living In Oz, Living In Oz
   Sometimes the dream can rock you
   Living In Oz, Living In Oz
   Sometimes the dream can shake you
   Living In Oz, Living In Oz
   Sometimes the dream can wake you, too
