One for Reality

There's this friend of mine

Been doing time with the same girlfriend

That he's had for far too many of his days

It seems with each passing second

Her brain lets loose

The one screw which holds back the rage

Then she screams again, cries again

And it loosens a little more

It's much more than a single soul can take

And when it goes again tonight

Well, we all know who she'll blame

This friend of mine called last week

On a payphone not too far from where he stays

It seems she lost her mind again that night

'cause she screams at him each night

Then she runs to him each day

And i just wouldn't feel right

If i looked the other way

Chorus:

So that's one for reality

But you didn't hear that from me

'cause i'll only say it's not true

Let me add one more indecency

With absolute necessity

That she never claimed to be true

Neither did you

Break up time again

And my sister calls on the phone

To ask my humble opinion

Of just what's going on

I said you scream at him each night

Then you run to him each day

And i just wouldn't feel right

If i look the other way

Chorus

I hear her side and i hear his

I was on the outside, now i'm in this

My one word answer could come between them

My sister is crying, 'cause i can't decide (repeat)

Chorus
