Interpol - Real Life

Is this real life for a change?
Are these concepts still the same?
With my bloody nose, I have fixed the savagery and showbiz
Dreams reliant, cease to tryin'

All these secondary lives I fall into
Unbalanced beam, a step unseen, a state
All these secondary lives are falling into
Scattered dreams, scattered people

Real life on repeat
Sideways figure eights
Giant steps simulate
Everybody knows, we can still commiserate with shadows
Dreams defiant, cease to tryin'

All these secondary lives I fall into
Unbalance beam, a step unseen, a state
All these secondary lives are falling into
Ever descend, never do

Got real life on repeat

Gentle rains
Sideways, figure eights
Silence, silence and secret ways

All these secondary lives I fall into
Unbalance beam, a step unseen, a state
All these secondary lives are telling you
To beat the priestess to the beach tonight
Let them see and let them be beside us
Often beating, ocean breezes
Let them see and let them be beside us
Only beating, ocean breezes
Beat the priestess to the beach and the fire
