London, Hollywood
Those faded dreams haunting the city
Folktale of the hills
Many brainwashed so terribly quickly
Once upon a show

Only now I have seen slowly past beyond the surface
Might be wondering why has life given me such purpose

If I wake up to this dawn
Will there be strength to carry on?
Was I sleeping for too long?
Will I go back and move on?

Where should I steer the wheel?
If everything's surreal?
Only time will reveal
If this show could be real

Dazzled by deception that I have been sold
I thought every singlе glitter was made of gold
It was a long time ago
It was oncе upon a show

I drew the canvas in my head
As the spotlight glows
At the podium of the opera
That's how it goes
It was a long time ago
It was once upon a show

Watching their ovation been given by fake applause
Can't help to be thinking
Was all this time worth the cause?
Once upon a show

Through a beam of light
I once have claimed a different vision
Misled by the sight
Sometimes I wonder that decision

If I wake up to this dawn
Will there be strength to carry on?
Was I sleeping for too long?
Will I go back and move on?

Where should I steer the wheel?
If everything's surreal?
Only time will reveal
If this show could be real

Dazzled by deception that I have been sold
I thought every single glitter was made of gold
It was a long time ago
It was once upon a show

I drew the canvas in my head
As the spotlight glows
At the podium of the opera
That's how it goes
It was a long time ago
It was once upon a show
Dazzled by deception that I have been sold
I thought every single glitter was made of gold
It was a long time ago
It was once upon a show

I drew the canvas in my head
As the spotlight glows
At the podium of the opera
That's how it goes
It was a long time ago
It was once, it was once
It was once upon a show
