real life
Singer: simple minds
paula came from washington with long golden hair
twenty eight dollars in a fake silk purse and a leather skirt to wear
shane came from dublin town from the old world so green
counterfeit ticket in to jfk in the land of his dreams
street life's the only life they take a walk in the park
even tough they only met that day they were lovers by dark
laid out on the morning skies he puts a ring on her hand
he said listen babe we gotta take what's ours do it or die
quit dreaming this is real life baby
real life's the only life what's it all about
quit dreaming this is real life baby
way out on the dock that night the colour is red
23rd victim of a gangland war takes his last breath
outside the sister cried she said the whole world's so mean
heavyweight killer in the ring
turns killing machine
quit dreaming this is real life baby
real life's the only life what's it all about
quit dreaming this is real life baby
all my love
you're my all
they way you move
you're in control
the way you talk
the way you dress
your hands
your touch
your sweet caress. all my love
you're the best
every little thing that i possess
it's all emotion when you take control
i can feel wild horses running in my soul. oh my love
all i see
the stars
the sun
the energy
if this going to kill us then let it go
quit dreaming this is real life baby
up high above a desert sky where the space shuttles scream
sixteen men from a dying earth take their last dream. quit dreaming this is real life baby
quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
real life's the only life what's it all about
quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
your eyes
your lips
the shape of your mouth
it's a sweet life baby
all my love
you're my all
the way you move
the way you go
i'm all emotion when you take control
i can feel wild horses running in my soul. all my love
you're all i see
the stars
the sun
the energy
the way you move
you're in control
quit dreaming this is real life baby
