The Real WorldWe danced and partied at the Mardi GrasThrew back all the beads at the parade Fake worlds and logos in the shopping mall Where you came from Everything seems the same the whole world now So you headed down south Left your old home town Relocated so far away from the real world But where is the real world? One day you'll wake up and you will feel I am alive, this is real Friends came down to visit from all over To see first hand the brand new start you've made But you were overqualified for the tips you earned in a bar It didn't work there and it won't work here but you tried it anyway So head off in the car And follow the stars There's someone waiting not far away in the real world Hope you get there this time But just bear in mind There's a lot of lost souls looking out for a sign for the real world But where is the real world? One day you'll wake up and you will feel I am alive, this is real |
