Lyrics
Come take a walk with me into the
morning light
Thought streets of wind-blown paper -
this everyday delight
Oh now open your eyes - see the
wonder of it all
We'll kill this hour together -
together we can fall
Down the path of sadness down the
path of history
Time is on your side and everything
you see
All your expectations the laughter in
your eyes
All these endless hours will come as
no surprise
Back in the real world
You may be guilty of hunger, you may
be guilty of pride
So don't you tell anybody the secrets
that you hide
So pack up all your bags - this
fairytale is broken
It's written on your face - the real
world has spoken
Come take a walk with me into the
morning light
Through streets of wind blown paper -
this everyday delight
Things will fall together, so clean
and civilised
Just let me take you down, cut you
down to size
Down the path of sadness down the
path of history
It's drifting with the tide and
everything you see
It's back in the real world
Back in the real world baby
Back in the real world
[repeat]
So good to be here
So good to be here
Living in a life of history
[repeat]
