living in la la land

where your imagination can run wild

you can be a grown up or even a child

or put on a frown even if you smiled

living in la la land

where you can be completely true to yourself

while lying to everybody else

just pick a personality off the shelf!

living in la la land

reality doesn't matter at all

you can be big or you can be really small

just be careful, if you slip you still might fall

there's nothing wrong with putting on a show

but when you're starting to hurt everyone you know

it's about time for you to go

you don't belong in la la land

la la la la la, la

(la la land)

living in la la land

everywhere you look can be your safe haven

there's no need to waste all your time slavin'

free as a bird, you can fly like the raven

living in la la land

no one cares if you're missing in action

they're all too busy trying to get traction

lost in the fog of the daily distraction

living in la la land

where life can turn into nothing but a song

you'll end up crazy if you stay too long

just look in the mirror if you think i'm wrong

there's nothing wrong with putting on a show

but when you're starting to hurt everyone you know

it's about time for you to go

you don't belong in la la land

la la la la la, la

la la la la la

la la la la la, la

la la la la la

(la la land)
