Where You Are

When you feel you've gone to hell in a hand basket

And the world in which you dwell's no paradise

I've some counsel I can give, you need but ask it

I'm so very glad to share this good advice

You've got to learn how not to be

Where you are

The more you face reality

The more you scar

So close your eyes and you'll become

A movie star

Why must you stay

Where you are?

You've got to learn how not to see

What you've seen

The slice of hell you call your life

Is harsh and mean

So why not lie beside me

On a movie screen?

Why must you see

What you've seen?

And if you find that you land in jail

A little fantasy will not fail

It's just as simple as A, B, C

Come up here

Play with me

Play with me

You've got to learn how not to do

What you've done

The pistol shot can't kill if you

Unload the gun

So build a palace where you're the Shah

And we'll embrace in that Shangri-La

If you run away

Some matinee

From where you are

You've got to learn how (You've got to learn how)

(Not to be where you are) Where you are

The more you face reality (The more you face reality)

The more you scar (The more you scar)

So close your eyes and you'll become (So close your eyes)

A movie star

Why must you stay (Must you stay)

Where you are?

So why not lie beside me

On a movie screen?

Why must you see

What you've seen?

And if you find that you land in jail

A little fantasy will not fail

It's just as simple as A, B, C

Come up here

Play with me

Play with me

And if you find that you land in jail

A little fantasy will not fail

It's just as simple as A, B, C

Come up here (Come up here)

Play with me (Play with me)

Turn off the lights and turn on your mind (Ooh)

And I can promise you, you will find (Ooh)

You will like my plan

My sweetest fan

My leading man

Anywhere you are!
