Where You are Lyrics

Where You are Text

---

[MOLINA]

When you feel you've gone to hell in a hand basket
And the world in which you dwell's no paradise

[AURORA]

I've some counsel I can give
You need but ask it
I'm so very glad to share this good advice
You've got to learn how not to be
Where you are
The more you face reality, the more you scar
So close your eyes and you'll become a movie star
Why must you stay where you are?
You've got to learn how not to see
What you've seen
The slice of hell you call your life
Is harsh and mean
So why not lie beside me on a movie screen
Why must you see what you've seen?
And if you find that you land in jail
A little fantasy will not fail
It's just as simple as ABC
Come up here, play with me, play with me!
You've got to learn how not to do
What you've done
The pistol shot can't kill if you unload the gun
So build a place where you're the shah
And we'll embrace in that Shangri-La
If you run away, some matinee
From where you are

[AURORA AND PRISONERS]

You've got to learn how not to be
Where you are
The more you face reality, the more you scar
So close your eyes and you'll become a movie star
Why must you stay where you are?

[AURORA]

So why not lie beside me on a movie screen
Why must you see what you've seen?

[AURORA AND PRISONERS]

And if you find that you land in jail
A little fantasy will not fail
It's just as simple as ABC

[AURORA]

Come up here, play with me, play with me!

[AURORA AND PRISONERS]

You've got to learn how not to do
What you've done
The pistol shot can't kill if you unload the gun

[AURORA]

So build a place where you're the shah
And we'll embrace in that Shangri-La
If you run away, some matinee
From where you are

[AURORA AND PRISONERS]

And if you find that you land in jail
A little fantasy will not fail
It's just as simple as ABC
Come up here, play with me, play with me!

[AURORA]

Turn off the lights and turn on your mind
And I can promise you you will find
You will like my plan, my sweetest fan,
My leading man
Anywhere you are!
