Lyrics
Real Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I woke up lost, along the road
My body burned by the sun, burned by the sun
As I defrost beside the fire,
I contemplate my escape
Played my mistakes
Around and around and around
It's just like real life,
Tastes just like real life
Feels just like real life on the road.
I'm alive, scream alive,
My body sprays out a spark
Sprays out a spark,
burning a hole in the dark
It's just like real life,
Tastes just like real life
Feels just like real life.
My body sprays out a spark,
Sprays out a spark
(wicked guitar solo)
Yeah let me burn in the sun
Burn in the sun oooh
It's just like real life,
Tastes just like real life
Feels just like real life
On the road!
