Guilt stains on my pillow Blood on ny terraces Torsos in my closet Shadows from my past live is real Life is real, life is real, so real Sleeping is my leisure Waking up in a minefield Dream is just a pleasure dome Love is a roulette wheel - life is real Life is real, life is real, oh yeah Success is my breathing space I brought it on myself I will price it I will cash it I can take it or leave it Loneliness is my hiding place Breastfeeding myself What more can I say I have swallowed the bitter pill I can taste it, I can taste it Life is real, life is real, life is real Music will be my mistres Loving like a whore Lennon is a genius Living in every pore Life is real, life is real, life is real, so real Life is cruel Life is a bitch Life is real - so real
