Let’s crawl through the city tonight
Let’s climb the ladder of light
Let’s go out and lose all sense of direction
Is it for real?
Or is it fiction?
We speak in tongues that I can't understand
I bite your lip and you shake my hand
Is it love or some new kind of tension
Is it for real?
Is it fiction?
Let's forget all the things we've said
Let's pretend that the meanings are dead
I'm sick and tired of this world's restrictions
Is it for real?
Is it fiction?
You and me are pulled apart
Trying to dig into the heart
Trying to read what the neon wrote
In the jungle of cigarette smoke
All alone losing our vision
We are fools on a mystery mission
Can’t understand this world's affliction
Is it for real?
Let’s crawl through the city tonight
Let’s climb the ladder of light
Let’s go out and lose all sense of direction
Is it for real?
Or is it fiction?
You and me are pulled apart
Trying to dig into the heart
Trying to read what the neon wrote
In the jungle of cigarette smoke
All alone losing our vision
We are fools on a mystery mission
Can’t understand this world's affliction
Is it for real?
Or is it fiction?
Is it for real?
Is it for real?
Is it for real?
Is it for real?
Is it for real?
