Wishful Thinking

Passing the time on a lazy kind of river Kidding myself I'm pulling all the strings A fool in love always cheating at patience Imagination soaring on magic wings Wishful thinking, is all I seem to do I need that wishful thinking to see me through As I look into the mirror, I'll just pretend Wishful thinking is my best friend Dropping coins down that wishing well Praying for escape from all this reality Lottery dreams woven in a magic spell But all in vain as it will only be Wishful thinking, is all I seem to do I need that wishful thinking to see me through As I look into the mirror, I'll just pretend Wishful thinking is my best friend Could it be that one day I'll take off On that magic carpet ride And all that wishful thinking will come true And all my trials will be cast aside We all know that little old ant Ain't never going to shift that rubber tree plant And that ram at that dam battering away for years All those high hopes will just end in tears and Wishful thinking, is all I seem to do I need that wishful thinking to see me through As I look into the mirror, I'll just pretend Wishful thinking is my best friend Wishful thinking, is all I seem to do I need that wishful thinking to see me through As I look into the mirror, I'll just pretend Wishful thinking is my best friend
