King of dreams

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover and Joe Lynn Turner

It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong
It really doesn't mean a thing
It doesn't matter if you like my song
As long as you can hear me sing
'Cos I'm the thorn in every little girl's rose
You know I cut but never bleed
A shadow in the night, pure delight
I can satisfy your every need

I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm a fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero, king of dreams yeah

Don't make a difference what you got
It doesn't matter what you lose
Don't make a difference if you like it or not
Baby I'm gonna change your attitude
'Cos all around me there is mystery and wonder
Now can't you see it in my eyes?
I'll crack the sky, make you feel the thunder
You'll never see through my disguise oh no

I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm a fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero, king of dreams

All around, all around
Emotional squeeze through again and again
I know just how to please you
Now your mind is on the bend
Can't you feel the power?
Surrender in my arms beyond the witching hour
We're travelling on and on, on and on...

I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm a fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero, king of dreams

A real smooth dancer, a fantasy man
Master of illusion, slight hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, a king of dreams yeah-yeh
