I was sitting pretty
Riding in the back seat
Cruising through the city
Nobody could catch me
Running through red lights
Suddenly it hits me
Dabbing at my wet eyes
Do you think they'll miss me
Sunrise on the coastline
California dreams in my head
Gambled all my chips, not much left
Should I cut my losses instead
Palm trees and cracked concrete
Sunny ever after, we're blessed
Little bit of manic depressed
Wild fantasies way out west
I'm driving straight 'til dawn
Twisting through the grapevine
Drifting over state lines
No I can't stay for long
Put the past behind me
Pray that it wont find me
Mr. Sandman, here's my one way ticket to Dreamland
Laying in a pasture
Thinking of my last words
Delusions of grandeur
What'll happen after
Singing to the blue sky
Suddenly enraptured
Will it be paradise
Or will it be disaster
Sunset at the world's end
Baby will we make it in time
Honestly I'm losing my mind
Promise me you won't leave my side
Chasing stars, racing cars
Honey what a beautiful sight
Know that it'll turn out alright
When you're ready just close your eyes
I'm driving straight 'til dawn
Twisting through the grapevine
Drifting over state lines
No I can't stay for long
Put the past behind me
Pray that it wont find me
Mr. Sandman, here's my one way ticket to Dreamland
Mr. Sandman here's my one way ticket to Dreamland
