Paroles de The Man That Is Me

I'm a dreamer by nature

And I've always been tryin'

To dream myself out of this world that I'm in
In my dreams I escape all the troubles around

And it hasn't cost a penny

For the pleasures I've found



What is the part

That I'll play today

Beggar, a bus'ness man, king for a day?

I've played many parts

And I'm the first to agree

That I'm still lookin' round for the man that is me
And I've always been

Looking for something not there

My financial position

Don't bother my dreams

'Cause in fairy tale money

I'm my own millionaire



I'm a rich man in dreams

But in real life I've hid

From the fact that I've got me a wife and a kid

If I lose what I've got

Then they lose it too

Tell me what in this world's a poor dreamer to do
