Freddie Mercury
Life Is Real (Song for Lennon)
[Verse 1]
Guilt stains on my pillow
Blood on my terraces
Torsos in my closet
Shadows from my past

[Chorus]
Life is real, life is real
Life is real, so real

[Verse 2]
Sleeping is my leisure
Waking up in a minefield
Dream is just a pleasure dome
Love is a roulette wheel

[Chorus]
Life is real, life is real
Life is real, oh yeah

[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Life is real, life is real
Life is real

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Music will be my mistress
Loving like a whore
Lennon is a genius
Living in every pore

[Chorus]
Life is real, life is real
Life is real, so real

[Outro]
Life is cruel
Life is a bitch
Life is real, so real
Life is real, life is real
Yeah, life is real
