what is it you’re feeling
can you put it in a painting
there’s no saturation
it’s just the same old thing
stop talking in rings
you came here to say what you think
I’ve got a real life now
and I intend to shut you out
I’ve got a real life now
watch me turn the clocks around
oh it’s with my name too
I walk that path, I walk it like you
find two knees pressed against one another
it's the shape of my need in the shape of another
and I swoop down in circles to find
the baby in my arms but it wasn’t mine
'cause I’ve got a real life now
and I intend to shut you out
I’ve got a real life now
watch me burn the candles out
watch me leave the table cold
leaving with my hat and coat
stop to do one final dish
and leave before it’s finished
I’ve got a real life now
