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 though 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.
