Back Again

11/23/88 - This song from my college retro-rock opera "Rick Cosmos and the Green Things From Mars!" appears in the one-man show “Captain Ambivalent Is In Denial.”

Some times you find real life’s too hard too face
You need to break away and baby I know just the place
Well if it makes you mad don’t listen to what people say
Just close your eyes and your troubles will all go away

I’ve got to get back, back, back to my fantasy world
(Back, back, back, shoo-be-doo-be)
Back, back, back, back to my fantasy world
(Back, back, back, shoo-be-doo-be)

Sometimes you find real life will just get you upset
When I’m true I’m blue babe and I know that I’d better get
Away from all the trouble and the strife
And baby we can build a better life

Everything’s cool, now, everything’s fine
We’ve got a happy ending waiting on down the line
Everything’s cool, now, everything’s great
We’ve got a happy ending and baby I just can’t wait

You can refuse to face the facts, don’t be afraid now
Your troubles are gone now don’t look back, you’ve got it made now

We’ll be dancing and prancing and moving our feet
We’ll be hoppin’ and boppin’ and swaying to the beat
Well come on steady Freddie we’re back and we’re ready for more

You can find the answer
It’s waiting in your heart
