Never in the Real World Songtext
von My Morning Jacket

Never in the real world, baby
Never in the day
Never in the light now could I
Ever find my way

Only in the evenin′ when the
Sun sinks from the sky
Only in the moonlight could I
Ever truly fly

Only in the nighttime, baby
Never in the day
Only in the darkness
Could I ever find my way
Never in the real world
Never in the real world

Never in the real world, baby
Nothing's what it seems
Never in the real world, honey
Life is but a dream


Never in the mornin′
Never in the light of day
Did I ever, ever, ever
Know what the right thing was to say

Only after midnight
Only in a trance
Head all full of spirits
Stumblin' when I dance

Never in the real world
Never could I see
Never in the real world
Was it ever up to me
Never in the real world

Comin' at you live now, baby
Blurrin′ all the lines
Bendin′ every rule
Across all of space and time

Only in the nighttime, baby
Wrapped up in the dance
Lost deep in your eyes now
Leavin' everything to chance


Only in the nighttime
Only in the dark
Only in the shadows could I
Ever find the spark

Only in the nighttime, baby
Never in the day
Only in the darkness
Could I ever find my way
Never in the real world
Never in the real world
