The stars you think you see are really lights from building tops
That boy that's racing in marathons used to run from the cops
Your favourite sins will do you in if you don't know how to stop
The working class transformers park waiting to be woken up
The merriest of men are geezers who got far too pissed up
A ten-mile smile you don't see very much
This is my wonderland
If you're not from round here I would never expect you to understand
It's not a place of many pleasures, there's not many treasures
No, I never said it was that grand
This is my wonderland
We go around and round and round and round like Ferris wheels
We're almost touching the sky then it's back down to the steel
Give me love I wanna feel something that's real
This is my wonderland
If you're not from round here I would never expect you to understand
It's not a place of many pleasures, there's not many treasures
No, I never said it was that grand
This is my wonderland
Put on your dancing shoes maybe come take a look around
We're more than all the monuments it's evidently quite sound
Mix upon the creases of this so-called dirty town
This is my wonderland
If you're not from round here I would never expect you to understand
It's not a place of many pleasures, there's not many treasures
No, I never said it was that grand
This is my wonderland
