Aladdin - Telling Stories (tracy Chapman)

There is fiction in the space between


The lines on your page of memories


Write it down but it doesnt mean


Youre not just telling stories


There is fiction in the space between


You and me





There is fiction in the space between


You and reality


You will do and say anything


To make your everyday life


Seem less mundane


There is fiction in the space between


You and me





Theres a science fiction in the space between


You and me


A fabrication of a grand scheme


Where I am the scary monster


I eat the city and as I leave the scene


In my spaceship I am laughing


In your remembrance of your bad dream


Theres no one but you standing





Leave the pity and the blame


For the ones who do not speak


You write the words to get respect and compassion


And for posterity


You write the words and make believe


There is truth in the space between





There is fiction in the space between


You and everybody


Give us all what we need


Give us one more sad sordid story


But in the fiction of the space between


Sometimes a lie is the best thing


Sometimes a lie is the best thing
