Paula came from Washington with long golden hair
|
Twenty eight dollars in a fake silk purse and a leather skirt to wear
|
Shane came from Dublin town from the old world so green
|
Counterfeit ticket in to JFK in the land of his dreams
|
|
Street life's the only life they take a walk in the park
|
Even tough they only met that day they were lovers by dark
|
Laid out on the morning skies he puts a ring on her hand
|
He said listen babe we gotta take what's ours do it or die
|
|
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
|
Real life's the only life what's it all about
|
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
|
|
Way out on the dock that night the colour is red
|
23rd victim of a gangland war takes his last breath
|
Outside the sister cried she said the whole world's so mean
|
Heavyweight killer in the ring, turns killing machine
|
|
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
|
Real life's the only life what's it all about
|
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
|
|
All my love, you're my all
|
They way you move, you're in control
|
The way you talk, the way you dress
|
Your hands, your touch, your sweet caress.
|
All my love, you're the best,
|
Every little thing that I possess,
|
It's all emotion when you take control,
|
I can feel wild horses running in my soul.
|
Oh my love, all I see
|
The stars, the sun, the energy,
|
If this going to kill us then let it go,
|
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
|
|
Up high above a desert sky where the space shuttles scream,
|
Sixteen men from a dying earth take their last dream.
|
|
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
|
Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
|
Real life's the only life what's it all about
|
Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
|
Your eyes, your lips, the shape of your mouth,
|
It's a sweet life baby
|
All my love, you're my all
|
The way you move, the way you go
|
I'm all emotion when you take control
|
I can feel wild horses running in my soul.
|
All my love, you're all I see
|
The stars, the sun, the energy,
|
The way you move, you're in control
|
