Jo Davidson - Real lyrics

rate me

music and lyrics by jo davidson

a crowded room

some shallow club in L.A.

trying to talk over the music

like there's anything to say

he turns to me and says

"people are more real In New York."

"Oh really," I answer not believing a word

to me his statement is just a little bit absurd

like New York is any different as if anywhere is different from

anywhere

People are real wherever you go

It's just a matter of what they're afraid to show

People are real wherever you go

It's just a matter of what they're hiding

Well a guy comes to the table and he does his magic and

suddenly a little turtle jumps right out of his jacket and

all I can think is what must that turtle be thinking

then the owner slips the magician a couple large bills

and he's on to the next table and he's on to the next thrills

oh the champagne keeps flowing and everyone is happy happy

chorus repeat

you gotta be on something to be into this

you have to already have fallen to fall for these tricks

with her back to the wall she stands there alone

holding her stomach and wishing she was home

chorus
