Monkees - Ceiling In My Room lyrics

by David Jones, Don DeMieri & Robert Dick

I'm a millionaire

Without a care in the world,

I have played the game,

I've made the grade, I've shown them all.

I'm a teenage idol just starting a tune,

No, it's just the ceiling in my room.

I have got more friends

Than I've ever had before,

But, are all these friends

Like the ones I knew before?

Hey, look, there's my old schoolmates there at my back door,

No, it's just the ceiling in my room.

If I could only be part

Of the things that I see,

I'd trade all the wealth and fame

You've given to me,

Oh, I want to be free.

But, no matter what

My future may bring,

I always will remember

Just one simple thing.

That when all my visions contain only gloom,

I know it's just the ceiling in my room, my room, my room.

La-da-ta, la-da-ta, da-da-da-da-da-ta-ta

La-da-da, la-da-da, da-da-daah.

fade out...
