Maybe "why?" is the
|
question that's on you mind
|
But reality used to be

a friend of mine

Reality used to be

Please don't ask me
|
'cause I don't know why
|
but reality used to be
|
a friend of mine
|
I used to be
|
friends with reality
|
She used to be a
|
pal real close to me
|
But she tried to hide
|
from me what was in store
|
Tried to house me but
|
a house has doors
|
I was insane and
|
the picture was crazy
|
So the relevance here
|
seems to be a bit hazy
|
But I tried to explain
|
this in the simplest terms
|
But she let the cross burn
|
and it was my turn to say
|
"The roses are red
|
and violets are blue,j
|
and things are gonna
|
stay that way, too"
|
And I was the nut to
|
believe all of this
|
I figured life would
|
just hand me bliss
|
Now I have to worry
|
about certain doom
|
Or will I be here
|
tomorrow afternoon
|
Now ask me about the future.

|
I remember Sandy
|
gave me a hand.
|
Now I'm known as
|
the maniac man
|
Looking and searching
|
for a shred of proof
|
Knowing any time
|
this world could go poof
|
Now what might happen
|
without me knowin
|
That's why I find myself
|
always tip-tip toeing
|
She tried to let prophecy
|
sneak yp on me
|
But I woke up, I told her
|
"Yo step off me"
|
What you wnat me to do?
|
You want me to sweat blood
|
And hang up on your strings
|
like a marionette does?
|
Go to the PM on the dock
|
of the bay, sit
|
You need a clue
|
Go back to the basics
|
She needs to learn her ABC's
|
Her and I sail on
|
different seas
|
She sees different from
|
what I sees
|
{Do you believe? Hell no}

'cause I don't know why

but reality used to be

|
I lost touch with reality
|
I keep it as far as I can
|
from Prince Be
|
I just didn't run
|
with the way she flowed
|
To where I just said
|
"Yo, I gots to go"
|
But my heart wasn't
|
ill or mad at her
|
I just chose to laugh at her
|
And disragard everything
|
she tells me
|
Believe in her and
|
she's happy and healthy
|
What is real a posotive plane
|
Reality and life are
|
no the same
|
as to her equivalent to
|
what is real
|
She doesn't appeal
|
to how I feel
|
Maybe I should try
|
transchanneling her
|
(Prince, you're taking
|
this trip to far)
|
OK, fine, nevermind
|
But reality used to be
|
a friend of min

Chase the blues away
|
Take your mind off reality
|
and leave her alone
|
