Stars in your eyes
Little one, where do you go to dream?
To a place we all know
The land of make believe
The land of make believe
Shadows tapping at your window
Ghostly voices whisper, "Will you come and play?"
Not for all the tea in China
Or the corn in Carolina
Never, never ever
They're running after you, babe
Run for the sun, little one
You're an outlaw once again, time to change
Superman will be with us while he can
In the land of make believe
Something nasty in your garden
Waiting patiently 'til it can have your heart
Try to go, but it won't let you
Don't you know it's out to get you?
Running, keep on running
They're running after you, babe
Run for the sun, little one
You're an outlaw once again, time to change
Superman will be with us while he can
In the land of make believe
Your world is turning from night to day
Your dream is burning far away
Into the blue, you and I
To the circus in the sky
Captain Kidd's on the sand with the treasure close at hand
In the land of make believe
Run for the sun, little one
You're an outlaw once again, time to change
Superman will be with us while he can
In the land of make believe
Run for the sun, little one
You're an outlaw once again, time to change (I've got a friend who comes to tea)
Superman will be with us while he can (And no one else can see but me, he came today)
In the land of make believe (But had to go)
(To visit you? You'll never know)
