Lyrics
It's time to get away A vacation from the norm I know where you can go Where you've never been before A very strange little place Where you can do what you like Fly across the sky Or freeze your thoughts in ice Then you know at this time that you need... A vacation in your mind A vacation in your mind A vacation in your mind It's there, we've got it We had it all along In this place of mystery It's where we all belong I can see your interest About a secret well unknown You say you can't resist You want one of your own Then you know at this time that you need... A vacation in your mind A vacation in your mind A vacation in your mind It only takes an hour Or maybe even half To send your mind floating Above this tiny raft When an hour lasts a minute And a minute lasts a year When you see the things you couldn't see And hear what you couldn't hear Then you know at this time that you made it... A vacation in your mind A vacation in your mind A vacation in your mind
