Lyrics
Lost in a maze, an endless shopping mall
Showroom of treats always, wanting more
A car, a dog, a gee-tar, life out on the road don’t come
Easy they say, just outta reach? Dunno//
All I want, und-er the sun, the pretty shiny things
Fol-low the neon signs, your lollipop dreams
Dreams’ll fade, dreams’ll grow, pretty shiny things
Fol-low the neon signs, in your pretty shiny dreams
Another crib, Another ride
Gotta ^use it all Before I die
Another night, left empty inside
Won’t you save my soul never, satisfied
All I want, und-er the sun, the pretty shiny things
Fol-low the neon signs, your lollipop dreams
Dreams’ll fade, dreams’ll grow, pretty shiny things
Fol-low the neon signs, in your pretty shiny dreams
Take me take me back, to a place long before
Cos life was so much ea-^si-er only dreams, to explore
Lost in a maze, an endless shopping mall
Showroom of treats always, wan-ting more
All I want, und-er the sun, the pretty shiny things
Fol-low the neon signs, your lollipop dreams
Dreams’ll fade, dreams’ll grow, pretty shiny things
Fol-low the neon signs, in your pretty shiny dreams
All I want, und-er the sun, the pretty shiny things
Fol-low the neon signs, your lollipop dreams
Dreams’ll fade, dreams’ll grow, pretty shiny things
Fol-low the neon signs, in your pretty shiny dreams
