The Comsat Angels - Real Story lyrics

Is it some kind of stupid joke The fictions that he speaks He says there's another world Haunting in the street He hears waves of the cars go by The city is a beach He thinks he's in another place When he goes to sleep He got the word; He got the real story He got the word; He got the picture He got the word; He got the real story He got the word; So we will never understand I heard that he lost the beat What a surprise Now he's in unreal estate Until he dies
