Real Cool World Lyrics

He swivels his head

Tears his eyes from the screen

As his past puts him back in Atlantic City

There's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell

Is it all just human disguise?

As I walk down the aisle

CHORUS

 Background vocals

 [Gone gone gone spinning slack through the end?]

 [Deadens? my brain falling up through the years]

 [Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]

 [Losing breath from the water then I'm gone gone gone]

 And I'm gone gone gone

 Now I'm older than movies

 Let me dance away

 Now I'm wiser than dreams

 Let me fly fly fly

 While I'm touching tomorrow

 And I know who's there

 When silhouettes fall

And I'm gone

Like I'm dancing on angels

And I'm gone through a crack in the past

Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man walking

Three old men dancing under the lamplight

Shaking their sex and their bones

And the boys that we were

An alien nation in therapy

Sliding naked and new

Like a bad tempered child 

On a rain slicked street

CHORUS

And I'm gone

And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels

And I'm gone, through the crack in the past

Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man

Like a dead man walking

And I'm gone gone gone

Let me dance dance dance

And I'm gone gone gone

Let me dance dance dance


And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels

And I'm gone, through a crack in the past

And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels

And I'm gone, through a crack in the past

Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man

Like a dead man walking
