When you feel
You've gone to
Hell in a
Hand basket
And the world
In which you
Dwell's
No paradise
I've some counsel
I can give
You need
But ask it
I'm so very glad
To share this
Good advice...
You've got to
Learn how not
To be
Where you are
The more you face
Reality, the more
You scar
So close your eyes
And you'll become
A movie star
Why must you stay
Where you are?
You've got to learn
How not to see
What you've seen
The slice of hell
You call your life
Is harsh and mean
So why not lie
Beside me on a
Movie screen
Why must you see,
What you've seen?
And if you find
That you land
In jail
A little fantasy
Will not fail
It's just as simple
As A-B-C
Come up here
Play with me
Play with me
You've got to learn
How not to do
What you've done
The pistol shot
Can't kill if you
Unload the gun
So build a palace
Where you're
The Shah
And we'll embrace
In that
Shangrila
If you run away
Some Matinee
From where you are
You've got to learn
How not to be
Where you are
The more you face
Reality
The more you scar
So close your eyes
And you'll become
A movie star!
Why must you stay
Where you are?
So why not lie
Beside me on a
Movie screen
Why must you see
What you've seen
And if you find
That you land
In jail
A little fantasy
Will not fail
It's just as simple
As A-B-C
Come up here
Play with me
Play with me
You've got to learn
How not to do
What you've done
The pistol shot
Can't kill if you
Unload the gun

Where you're

If you run away
Some matinee
From where you are
And if you find
That you land
In jail
A little fantasy
Will not fail
It's just as simple
As A-B-C
Come up here
(Come up here)
Play with me
(Play with me)
Turn off the lights
And turn on
Your mind
And I can promise
You
You will find
You will like my plan
My sweetest fan
My leading man
Anywhere
You are...!
