Wrapped up nice n' tight

And homegrown and down-home, that makes one
Cookin' up that old time, long lost recipe for me. Woo!

Guess it ain't hip enough now
You take an average guy, he can't identify, uh
And there's a short supply of her fine, fine stuff

Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on some o' that
Shake it up, bake it up nice, uh!
Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on all that

Well now, none of this was planned
It all just kinda happened
I got more than I wanted, but how is still a mystery
Obsessed with this feeling, I trusted it. So I followed it
A-stripping and stumbling across a land full of miracles

Ow!
Into a world so far from home
Miles and miles from nowhere
Rooms without doors open for me. Oh, no!
Taking me miles and miles from nowhere

Oh, (miles and miles). Oh, yeah!

Lost, in this pleasure dome
Lost, in my own pleasure dome

Oh man, I ain't got a clue how to get out
Or how to find this place
I want my control back, but I'm afraid I'll lose that feeling. Ow!

Lost in a world so far from home
I'm miles and miles from nowhere
Fallin' inside my own pleasure dome
I'm miles and miles from nowhere

Oh, (miles and miles). Oh, yeah!

Lost in this pleasure dome
Lost inside my pleasure dome

Ahhhhhhhhh!

(Guitar Solo)

Lost in a world. Can't find my way home
Miles and miles from nowhere

Miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh!

Lost, in this pleasure dome
Lost, inside my pleasure dome

Straight ahead, less talk, more action

Flesh, blood and bone
And it's all wrapped up in a tight little bundle
Got an open mind, do anything

Risin' from the streets
A self-made businessman
Knows how the system can be beat

Oh, we're the lost generation
Have no place to go
The road to destruction
Is all we need to know

'Cuz it's a rip-off
We're stepped on and cheated
We're flat stone cold lied to
We're not defeated. No!

It's ah, easy money
It's a way out
Join the family
No middleman. No IRS
Your ticket out of poverty

Oh, we're the lost generation
I hold fate from a string
Lookin' for a direction
Reachin' out for anything

So, dream another dream
This dream is over (Ooo-ooo-ooo)

An nothin' falls into place. No!

Just trade in one for another
Workin' so hard to make it easy
