Heaven 17
"Unreal Everything"

I don't believe everything I seeGod only knows I believe in scienceMr. Einstein, help me pleaseI'd like to know what's really real
Keeping up with the times when everyone looks the sameA synthetic paradise takes the kick out of cocaineIt I want I can have a new obsession every dayAn escalating addiction and I know I can afford to pay
The first to be and last to knowLike a film or a book or a TV showThese thing's we're seeing constantlyPass through and out of youIt pours into the ground and makes rivers flowIt spills into the oceans, makes the feeling growBecomes a cloud and rains and rainsBut it always leaves you needing more
It's strange the way it feels to live this wayLosing touch as all resistance slips awayThere's an eye that lets you see what you want to seeReach out inside and you cold be what you want to be
It pours into the ground and makes rivers flowIt spills into the oceans, makes the feeling growBecomes a cloud and rains and rainsBut it always leaves you needing more


It's unreal but it's strange the way it feels the way to live this way
Losing sight, lousing touch as all resistance slips away
In your mind there's an eye that lets you see what you want to see
Then you could reach out inside and you could be what you want to be
Keeping up with the times when everybody looks the same
Synthetic paradise takes the kick out of cocaine
If I want I can have a new obsession every day
An escalating addiction and I know I can afford to pay
