When emerging from the darkness
When ascending from the deep
When at last your soul awakens
From it’s world-weary sleep
How you celebrate serenity
In this place you’ve never been
And you gaze in endless wonder
At this magic place you’re in
Where are you
When you’ve lost your doubts and fears?
Where are you
When your sadness disappears?
You’re in denial
Complete denial
When you turn pathetic
Circumstance to glory
You’re in denial
Yes, deep denial
When you’re life’s a wreck
but you feel hunky-dory
When you’re singing karaoke
And you think that you’re on key
When you’re just an alcoholic
But you say it’s ADD
When you think a Jonas brother’s voice
Is how an angel sounds
When you dress yourself in spandex
But you weigh three hundred pounds
Where are you
When your life has gone to hell?
Where are you
When you think that things are swell?
You’re in denial
Complete denial
When you think that Andy Rooney’s sort of witty
You’re in denial
Yes, deep denial
When you think that Tori Spelling’s really pretty
If you’ve had hair transplants
Please don’t think we’re fooled
‘Cause your scalp looks like
Three rows of dying trees
And if you’ve had a facelift
Your eyes so tightly pulled
Do you think we think
You’re turning Japanese?
If you move to a bigger trailer
Do you think you’re well-to-do?
Do you think that married man you date
Will leave his wife for you?
Do you dine on fat-free ice cream
And expect that you’ll lose weight
And your son loves Barbara Streisand
Do you really think he’s straight?
Where are you
When there isn’t any strife?
Where are you
When you’ve learned to love your life?
You’re in denial (Denial)
Complete denial (Denial)
Love’s forsaken you
But that’s not how it strikes you
You’re in denial
Knee-deep denial
You probably think that Oprah really likes you
You’re in denial (Denial)
Complete denial (Denial)
When you turn pathetic
Circumstance to glory
You’re in denial
Hip-high denial
When you’re life’s a wreck
but you feel hunky-dory
