The Real

I know the sun's around
to wake the dead
you've got if anything
a bigger head
most likely to conceive
was who i konw
but now it's you that i have to konw
silly who ya know
has got away
sweet little who ya know
lives in l.a.
most likely to perform
was who i knew
but now it's you that i have to know
only the real world
is so unreal
only the real is real
pocket the business card
be on your way
pocket the smiling face
and save the day
most likely to conceive
was who i knew
that i have to know
only the real world
is so unreal only the real
is real.
