|
You danced and partied at the |
|
Mardi Gras |
|
Threw back all the beads at the parade |
|
Fake worlds and logos in the shopping mall where you came from |
|
Everything seemed 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? |
|
Get out of the bar and follow the stars |
|
Now you've relocated so far away from the real world |
|
But where is the real world? |
|
Ambitious eyes set firmly on the future |
|
So keen to leave your old home town |
|
But you're a lost soul looking for the great illusion in another state |
|
You had to escape, you know you just couldn't wait |
|
You thought the real world let you down |
|
So you headed down south, left another home town |
|
Now you don't have the time to think |
|
Who's left behind in the real world |
|
Watching game shows all day was no kind of deal |
|
It all seemed oh so surreal had to break 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 |
|
Your friends came down to visit from all over |
|
To see first hand the brand new start you made |
|
But you were overqualified for the tips you earn in a bar |
|
It won't work here and it didn't work there 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 |
