verse 1 Woke up early with my coffee and my lucky reading chair Fingers on the keyboard, glitter in my hair Six thousand dreamers waiting for the magic to unfold Two hundred twenty tickets, worth their weight in gold Refresh, refresh, my heart is beating like a drum Is this a fairy story? Here the knights and dragons come!

Turn the page and take my hand, we're dancing in the lore Thirteen minutes, and we're knocking at the door!
