a chord pattern leads to an unusual song about the line between asleep and awake and my general feeling about reality

my writing is a constant surprise, music leads to a lyric line. the lyric line haphazardly leads to a song. the title, well it's what i came up with.

wakeup call
jim burgan ©03062006

i found myself walkin down the street
i was goin just followin my feet
no real direction just driftin along
not knowin where or if i belong

is it really time to open my eyes

i don't really like reality
it really doesn't do much for me

driftin along like a leaf on the wind
livin the fantasy that's deep within
float over barriers that are in my way
maybe i'll find some time to stay

here with my eyes closed wide

i don't really like reality
it really doesn't do much for me

(lead riff)

clock is ticking on the wall
seems i have no time at all
places to go people to seek
has it been a day or was it a week

don't i have someplace to go

i don't really like reality
it really doesn't do much for me

here in this dream i can be who i am
don't have to worry don't have to plan
just drift along like a leaf on the breeze
just floatin away as free as you please

i want that alarm to go away

i don't really like reality
it really doesn't do much for me
i don't really like reality
it really doesn't do much for me
