We’re getting closer to real life We’re getting closer to the place where There is no time It isn’t physical, something else You gotta die to go there It’s called real life You gotta die to go there You gotta go right through the mirror Real life It’s like we’ve already been there Do you ever feel the deja vu It’s like we’re standing in the doorway Sometimes we can see right in, right through Through the reflection To perfection To real life Getting closer To the place where there is no fear Getting closer, getting closer, getting closer To real life Those who have gone before - they don’t care Cause they know that we’ll soon all be there And all of time condensed in a moment Eternal moment Getting closer, getting closer Real life

See the old tramp under cover of The Press * Can't read a word of it education less You're talking it's a matter of a fact Do what you can but you never look back Nobody is good. Or doing what they should. Or doing what's right. Reaches of the night. Nobody is good. Nobody is good. Doing what they should. See the pretty college girl hungover and uptight Somebody wonders where she got to last night. She don't wanna admit. But she's running out of rope. Everything seems plastic and devoid of hope. But nobody is good. Nobody is good. Or doing what they should Nobody is good, Doing what they should Nobody. There is a light shining in the night See the power and the glory and the never ending story of Of the light its shining so bright If you wanna see it you can. But nobody is good Doing what they should Doing whats right. Creatures of night in the broad daylight See the old lady hover round her roses So many poses but a new day hiding,hiding away Feel so frail and vulnerable Everybody hiding in a fog of shame cause nobody is good. Nobody is good Nobody is good Or doing what they should Or doing whats right Creatures of the night Nobody is Nobody is good. * The Press is a newspaper in Christchurch, NZ.

Walk in the light Walk in the light You gonna get it right Some days Matter if you sorrow Matter if you pain No one will told you What I'm telling you No one ever told you What I'm telling you now Walk in the light Walk in the light You gonna get it right Some day Could be today Cause everything is already Everything is already Everything is already OK Everything is OK Matter if you sorrow Matter if you pain No one ever told you You have to carry that shame You don't need to hide You no need to hide In a cloud of shame You can tell the whole world It's gonna keep on turning just the same Don't carry no shame Everything is so ready Everything is already Everything is already OK OK No one ever told you I'm telling you now As you walk in the light You get it right Matter of your sorrow Matter of your despair No one told you to linger in there Everything is already Everything is already Everything is already
