Back in the Real World
I just woke up but my head's still asleep
My body's on East Coast time
And all of the women here
Are pay-per-view
Pouring the third-rate coffee is Anna
My waitress, my second-hand rose
Through the stains and the steam
Her daydreams are fireproof
And back in the real world
You're drying your hair
The cats are confused
'Cause I'm not there
I know it sounds simple
Just boy loves girl
I'd simply prefer to be back
In the real world
This is a meeting and this is a bullet
And you can take whichever you choose
And both of them tear little holes
In the skin of your life
I wish I could chart
All the boardrooms and cars
All the time I've lived under glass
I'd trade all that silver and green
For the gold of my wife
This is the glamour of business travel
The miles fall away, the hours unravel
I know it sounds simple
Just boy loves girl
I'd simply prefer to be back
In the real world
This is the glamour of business travel
The miles fall away, the hours unravel
I know it sounds simple
Just boy loves girl
I'd simply prefer to be back
In the real world
My body's on East Coast time
And all of the women here
Are pay-per-view
Pouring the third-rate coffee is Anna
My waitress, my second-hand rose
Through the stains and the steam
Her daydreams are fireproof
And back in the real world
You're drying your hair
The cats are confused
'Cause I'm not there
I know it sounds simple
Just boy loves girl
I'd simply prefer to be back
In the real world
This is a meeting and this is a bullet
And you can take whichever you choose
And both of them tear little holes
In the skin of your life
I wish I could chart
All the boardrooms and cars
All the time I've lived under glass
I'd trade all that silver and green
For the gold of my wife
This is the glamour of business travel
The miles fall away, the hours unravel
I know it sounds simple
Just boy loves girl
I'd simply prefer to be back
In the real world
This is the glamour of business travel
The miles fall away, the hours unravel
I know it sounds simple
Just boy loves girl
I'd simply prefer to be back
In the real world
