Real Life

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
