lyrics

I spent the day upon a mountain
where I was cradled by a tree
the moors of lavender they brushed me
the mists they cleared and I could see

Then I joined apace the status race, a sneering gargoyle dressed in lace
on escalators, confiscators, money-takers, honey fakers and terminals full of haters, terminals full of haters
And I know
Yes I know

(Chorus)
I'm back in the real world
Back in the real, real word
Back in the real world
back in the real, real, real, wide world

Beware the fungi fellows' reach
a raptor rises on the breeze
Please am I worthy of a-teaching?
Is this a portrait or a tease?

Then I laid the cards down, paid a guardsman, inhaled a mix of hydrocarbons
On the street, where wheels are feet, the air's your enemy and a coke is your treat
The sky is your enemy and a coke is your treat
and I know, yes I know!

(Chorus)

I used to think the clouds had faces
lift my arms towards the storm
Oh carry me to sacred places
Where every rock has me reborn...

Now I count my money, have my say, stand on a platform, make my day!
Give the orders, know my place, achieve respect and win the race
Help the mighty, ignore the crimes, the firm has sent an alibi and my lover is an XR2i, Yes my lover is an XR2i, i i i i i i
and i know that I'll be happy when I die
yes I know that I'll be happy when I die...
and I know..
and I know that I've truly arrived..

I'm back in the real world
Back in the real, real word
Back in the real world
Back in the real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real world,
back in the real, real, real, wide world
