Old 97s - The Disconnect lyrics

rate me

Orange ones pick you up

Blue ones get you down

Oh, the glass is golden brown …my, my

These stairs will break your fall

There's diamonds in the steel

They're the only thing that’s real, my,my

I am now connected to the disconnect

Where the real world holds no sway

I’ve been gone as long as I can reconnect

And the real world isn't that real anyway

My friends call me up so they can call me out

Sayin’ you're always headin’ South

Why, why?

Truth is life is short

Truth's in short supply

And it’s barely time to cry bye bye

I am now connected to the disconnect

Where the real world holds no sway

I’ve been gone as long as I can reconnect

And the real world isn't that real anyway

No the real world isn't that real anyway

Find your way back home

Or stay here on your own

Spend your life alone

Green ones turn you off

White ones turn you on

Almost all night long, so high

Come down, pay the price

It’s steeper every day

Are you gone enough to say bye bye?

Are you strong enough to say bye bye?

I am now connected to the disconnect

Where the real world holds no sway

I’ve been gone as long as I can reconnect

And the real world isn't that real anyway

No the real world isn't that real anyway

I am now connected to the disconnect

I am now connected to the disconnect

I am now connected to the disconnect

I am now connected to the disconnect

I am now connected to the disconnect

I am now connected to the disconnect

I am now connected to the disconnect

I am now connected to the disconnect
