Simple Minds - Real Life Lyrics
Paula came from washington with long golden hairTwenty eight dollars in a fake silk purse and a leather skirt to wearShane came from dublin town from the old world so greenCounterfeit ticket in to jfk in the land of his dreamsStreet lifes the only life they take a walk in the parkEven tough they only met that day they were lovers by darkLaid out on the morning skies he puts a ring on her handHe said listen babe we gotta take whats ours do it or dieQuit dreaming this is real life babyReal lifes the only life whats it all aboutQuit dreaming this is real life babyWay out on the dock that night the colour is red23rd victim of a gangland war takes his last breathOutside the sister cried she said the whole worlds so meanHeavyweight killer in the ring, turns killing machineQuit dreaming this is real life babyReal lifes the only life whats it all aboutQuit dreaming this is real life babyAll my love, youre my allThey way you move, youre in controlThe way you talk, the way you dressYour hands, your touch, your sweet caress.All my love, youre the best,Every little thing that I possess,Its all emotion when you take control,I can feel wild horses running in my soul.Oh my love, all I seeThe stars, the sun, the energy,If this going to kill us then let it go,Quit dreaming this is real life babyUp 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 babyQuit dreaming this is cheap life babyReal lifes the only life whats it all aboutQuit dreaming this is cheap life babyYour eyes, your lips, the shape of your mouth,Its a sweet life babyAll my love, youre my allThe way you move, the way you goIm all emotion when you take controlI can feel wild horses running in my soul.All my love, youre all I seeThe stars, the sun, the energy,The way you move, youre in controlQuit dreaming this is real life babyWritten by : kerr/burchill reproduced without permission
