Lyrics

Wake up, split the atom, take her to the train
Walk the dog in the pounding rain
Looking for a way out of my brain
Trapped in it
But I cannot ascertain that I'm trapped in it
Or that the trap's even real, so I remain trapped in its chambers
Give me real life, I prefer it
Give me real life, I deserve it
What's real? What's not real?
What's my shield? My force field?
What's my mind? My blindness?
What's time? What's the world?
My girl is as tall as spring, tall as autumn wind
But I'm low like a howling shell
I remember just before I fell, looking down like I might as well
Give me real life, I prefer it
Give me real life, I can't bear it
Give me real life, I deserve it
Give me real life, we can share it
Give me real, give me real life, I prefer it
Give me real, give me real life, I prefer it
If I could climb out my mindland square in the fresh air
Of what's really there, I would do it, would I do it?
Another night, another chance to get to it
Neck deep in a viscous fluid
Clinging onto the bar by my bare thirst
Surfing her cheekbones home, no rest
I told her keep me at arm's length, it's best
But then she held me close and I withdrew the request
Give me real life, I prefer it
Give me real life, I can't bear it
Give me real life, I deserve it
Give me real life, we can share it
Stunner, hands in my hair, going under
Rain on my shoulders, bright lights of London
Down by the water, found
Drowning towards her ground is a memory
Stunner, hands in my hair, going under
Rain on my shoulders, bright lights of London
Down by the water, found
I am drowning towards her ground is a memory
I wake up, split the atom, take her to the train
Walk the dog in the pounding rain
Looking for a way out of my brain
Trapped in it
But I cannot ascertain that I'm trapped in it
Or that the trap's even real, so I remain stuck in its chambers
Same old same
Same old, same old same
Same old, same old same
