Suddenly you've got the nerve to
Wander up and crash right through this world again
And hang it on your wall
The slow shock of losing touch
With anything you've ever loved comes creeping in
And then I comb my hair
And if we stare and stare and stare
And stare and stare until the first one cracks
We can laugh it off
Back in the real world, those eyes are running
But what if in a cruel world, maybe we've got something?
Between dives and punching clocks
Operation "talk the talk" slips off the rails
And we go insane
It wouldn't be the first time that
You looked up and saw that I was by your side
But I'm by your side
And if we stand and stand and stand
And stand and stand at the edge and smile
We can fight them off
Back in the real world, those eyes are running
But what if in a cruel world, maybe we've got something?
But when we're back into the real world, those eyes are running
But what if in a cruel world, maybe we've got something?
A whisper or mention, what I'd do for attention
Conniving persona, I let you take me over
The joke of the clowning, suffice to say I'm drowning
But didn't I mention what I'd do for your attention?
Suddenly you've got the nerve to
Wander up and crash right through this head again
But you were already there
Back in the real world, those eyes are running
But what if in a cruel world, maybe we've got something?
But when we're back into the real world, those eyes are running
But what if in a cruel world, maybe we've got something?
