LYRIC
I just woke up, but my head's still asleep
My body's on East Coast time
And all of the women here are pay-per-view
Pouring the third-rate coffee is Anna
My waitress, my second-hand Rose
Through the stains and the steam, her daydreams are fireproof
And back in the real world, you're drying your hair
The cats are confused, 'cause I'm not there
I know it sounds simple - just boy loves girl
I'd simply prefer to be back in the real world
This is a meeting, and this is a bullet
And you can take whichever you choose
Both of them tear little holes in the skin of your life
I wish I could chart all the board rooms and cars
All the time I've lived under glass
I'd trade all that silver and green for the gold of my wife
This is the glamour of business travel
The miles fall away, the hours unravel
I know it sounds simple - just boy loves girl
I'd simply prefer to be back in the real world
[guitar solo]

I know it sounds simple - just boy loves girl
I'd simply prefer to be back in the real world
