Paula came from Washington with long golden hair
Twenty eight dollars in a fake silk purse and a leather skirt to wear
Shane came from Dublin town from the old world so green
Counterfeit ticket in to JFK in the land of his dreams
Street life´s the only life they take a walk in the park
Even tough they only met that day they were lovers by dark
Laid out on the morning skies he puts a ring on her hand
He said listen babe we gotta take what´s ours do it or die

Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Real life´s the only life what´s it all about
Quit dreaming this is real life baby

Way out on the dock that night the colour is red
23rd victim of a gangland war takes his last breath
Outside the sister cried she said the whole world´s so mean
Heavyweight killer in the ring, turns killing machine

Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Real life´s the only life what´s it all about
Quit dreaming this is real life baby

All my love, you´re my all
They way you move, you´re in control
The way you talk, the way you dress
Your hands, your touch, your sweet caress.
All my love, you´re the best,
Every little thing that I possess,
It´s all emotion when you take control,
I can feel wild horses running in my soul.
Oh my love, all I see
The stars, the sun, the energy,
If this going to kill us then let it go,
Quit dreaming this is real life baby

Up high above a desert sky where the space shuttles scream,
Sixteen men from a dying earth take their last dream.

Quit dreaming this is real life baby
Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
Real life´s the only life what´s it all about
Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
Your eyes, your lips, the shape of your mouth,
It´s a sweet life baby
All my love, you´re my all
The way you move, the way you go
I´m all emotion when you take control
I can feel wild horses running in my soul.
All my love, you´re all I see
The stars, the sun, the energy,
The way you move, you´re in control
Quit dreaming this is real life baby
