Old 97's - The Disconnect lyrics

orange ones pick you up blue ones get you down oh the gla** 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 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 recollect and the real world isn't that real anyway my friends call me up so they can call me out say you're always headed south why why truth is life is short truth's in short supply there'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 recollect 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 and 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 everyday 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 recollect and the real world isn't that real anyway no the real world isn't that real anyway oh the real world isn't that real any 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
