Fantasy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
City nights
Summer breeze makes you feel all right
Neon lights
Shining brightly make your brain ignite
See the girls
With the dresses so tight
Give you love
Give you love if the price is right

Black or white
In the streets there's no wrong and no right, no!

[Verse 2]
Outta sight
Buy your kicks from the man in the white
Feels all right
Powder pleasure in your nose tonight
See the men
Paint their faces and cry
Like some girl
Like some girl, it makes you wonder why
City life
Sure is cool but it cuts like a knife, it's your life!

[Pre-Chorus]
So, forget all that you see
It's not reality
It's just a fantasy
[Chorus]
Can't you see
What this crazy life is doing to me?
Life is just a fantasy
Can you live this fantasy life?
Life is just a fantasy
Can you live this fantasy life?

[Pre-Chorus]
So, forget all that you see
It's not reality
It's just a fantasy

[Chorus]
Can't you see
What this crazy life is doing to me? Yeah!
Life is just a fantasy
Can you live this fantasy life?
Life is just a fantasy
Can you live this fantasy life?
Life is just a fantasy
Can you live this fantasy life?
Life is just a fantasy
Can you live this fantasy life?

[Outro]
I know!
I know!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
