[Verse 1]

I think I've watched the Wizard of Oz too many times

When I think about the lovers I've had along the line

Steven was Scarecrow, I was grasping at straws

By keepin' on hopin' he'd have a clever thought

And Timothy Grim was my Man of Tin

He had a great chest but nothin' beatin' within

Then there was Larry-the-Lion come roarin' at my door

Who when I told him I loved him, wasn't roarin' anymore


[Hook]

Oh, how I can identify

With Dorothy wanderin' through Oz

Traveling this Yellowbrick Road with companions

Who themselves are lost


[Verse 2]

Lemme tell you this last one just about did me in

Whеn it came to fakin' it, he really was a Wiz

By thе time I saw inside him I was head-over-heels

For smoke and lights I mistook for real


[Hook]

Oh, how I can identify

With runnin' away from home

So much out here is not what it appears

While I'm searchin' for a place of my own

I'm learnin' that I should be lookin' inside

For the end of my rainbow


[Verse 3]

And then one of these days a man will come without a curtain

He'll say "This is me" and my heart'll know for certain

That he and I, we're gonna fly

To a land that I heard of once in a lullaby


[Outro]

He and I gonna fly way up high

Where the little bluebirds fly

He and I
