monday has come around again

i'm in the same old place

with the same old faces always watching me

who knows how long i'll have to stay

could be a hundred years

of sweat and tears

at the rate that i get paid



sometimes i slowly drift away

from all the dull routine

that's with me every day

a fantasy will come to me

diamonds are what i really need

think i'll rob a store, escape the law

and live in italy



lately my luck has been so bad

you know the roulette wheel's

a crooked deal

i'm loosing all i had



soon be like a man that's on the run

and live from day to day

never needing anyone

play hide and seek

throughout the week



my life is full of romance



Guess i'll always have to be

living in a fantasy

that's the way it's got to be

from now on

you think i'm crazy i can see

it's you for you, and me for me

living in a fantasy

from now on
