Songteksten

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 traps even real so I remain trapped in it’s chambers
Gimme real live I prefer it
Gimme real life I deserve it
What’s real? What’s not real?
What’s my shield? My forcefield?
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
Gimme real live I prefer it
Gimme real life I can’t bear it
Gimme real life I deserve it
Gimmie real life we can share it
Gimmie real, gimmie real life I prefer it
Gimmie real, gimmie real life I prefer it
If I could climb out my mind, land 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 on to the bar by my bare thirst
Surfing her cheekbones home
No rest, I told her keep me at arms-length, it’s best
But then she held me close and I withdrew the request
Gimme real live I prefer it
Gimme real life I can’t bear it
Gimme real life I deserve it
Gimmie 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 traps even real so I remain stuck in it’s chambers
Same old same.
Same old, same old. Same
