Enter The Haggis

Enter The Haggis - Real Life/alibis lyrics

rate me

Saturday morning a while before daylight I'm

Lying here hoping for rain

By tomorrow I could be anywhere

Passing streetcars alive without breathing

I'm lost in the city again

Without a purpose I can't believe anything

And I know it's not my place

To be asking these questions but I know I

Can't just chase every world that I see

Because

This isn't real life

This isn't happening

Seems so believable

But it's not the real thing

This isn't real life

It's just some enormous lie

And I know I'll be fine this isn't real life

Such a mystery

Am I supposed to believe these illusions are real

Out of focus, step out of character

Into a world I can feel

Maybe it's only a sense of propriety

Keeping us grounded at all

Or we'd run screaming

Into the morning and out of control

Maybe I can find some piece of a world I can handle

Or a common line, any one sign

All a part of me

This isn't real life

This isn't happening

Seems so believable

But it's not the real thing

This isn't real life

It's just an enormous lie

And we'll be fine if we can find a real life

Listen

The world is listening in

Every name and number

Suddenly I can't believe my eyes

We're gonna need those alibis

Hoping it all just fades away

Maybe they're all just paper

Airplanes and imaginary cries

They're not your neighbor

We all have our alibis

We've got our reasons and our reasonable words

But we all just hide our eyes and make believe we never heard

And when the sirens rise

We're gonna need those alibis

Helpless and hopeless on the screen

Maybe another channel

Might change the dialogue

To talk about it doesn't hurt at all

We all have our alibis

We've got our reasons and our reasonable words

We talk and talk as though there's nothing to it

We can change it all

As long as we don't have to do it

We all have our alibis

We've got our reasons and we

Lie and lie and lie

We all have our alibis

We've got our reasons

And if we're not afraid to fall

We're not listening at all

And when the silence fills the sky

We're gonna need those alibis

What does it matter if they're all lies
