[Verse 1]
There he was
Making all the green because
She really wanted more than love
He said that ain't real life

[Verse 2]
Waking up
Trapped inside a little house
I feel a bit like Minnie Mouse
She says this ain't real life

[Chorus 1]
But there it is
Floating in a hazy noise
Passing every day and night
It never stops it never slows
And all this time
They only wanted real life

And there it goes
Held inside a single note
Looking through a telescope
It never stops it never slows
All this time
I've wondered what is real life
[Verse 3]
Checking in
Checking out and logging on
This is what I'm running on
I said, this ain't real life

[Bridge]
A gentle spring
Back into the wood I've been
Waking from a sleep I was in
I said is this is real life
What is real life?

[Chorus 2]
But there it is floating in a hazy noise
Passing every day and night
It never stops, It never slows
And all this time I only wanted real life

There it goes held inside a single note
Looking through a telescope
It never stops, it never slows
And all my life I've wondered what is real life
