Lyrics

Now my suspicion's on the rise
I have known, I have known your kind
Please don't talk, don't make me think
Order up another drink
Let me let imagination drive
Can't you see
I need nothing too deep
Imagination come alive
Suspicion
Tonight, I'll dream tonight
Listen to the devils in my ear
Tell me what, what I want to hear
You're so funny, you're so fine
You're so perfect, you're so mine
That I never had an opportunity to hide
No, I've never had a chance
Can't you see
I need nothing too deep
Imagination come alive
Suspicion
Tonight, I'll dream tonight
Look into my eyes
They hypnotize, the lights, the drinks
Let the music carry you away
My eyes are blurred
My sights are limited
Am I sensing a familiar twinge?
Please don't speak
Make me think
It's all too deep
Imagination come alive
Suspicion
Step down, I'll dream tonight
Step down, I'll dream
You're so naked, baby
Carry me away
Dream, dream
Carry me away
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
