Shuffling through all the nations airports
Invalids collide with terrorist scum.
Choking on the lag, the headset's spilling over.
Choking on the lag, the exiles plot.
So shovel under rugs, the ones who notice.
Channel into locks, the pilot's drunk.
The resin in his mouth just means he's hated.
The radio is tapped, the bastard's drunk.
Channelling through aviation transport.
Derelicts rely on red light slums.
Scandals interlock, linking all the patrons.
And tourists intertwine in effortless lumps.
So shovel under rugs, the one's who notice.
Channel into locks, the pilot's drunk.
The resin in their eyes just means they're hated.
Tapping on his mike, the pilot's drunk.
Shuffling through all the nations airports
Invalids collide with terrorist scum.
Scandals interlock, linking all the patrons.
And tourists intertwine in effortless lumps.
Channelling through all the nations airports
Derelicts rely on red light slums.
Choking on the lag, the headset's spilling over.
Choking on the lag, the exiles plot.As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire
Feeling the warmth as the flames grow higher
I think it's true that nothing
is really new under the sun
Watching a new love grow
from old love's embers
Yesterday's gone but today remembers
Doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone
(Chorus)
Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real
Childhood dreams like muddy waters
Flowing through me to my son and daughters
Everything I ever thought is confirmed as truth to me
Even as I see the way that I want to go now
Still I had wished I had known what I know now
Maybe I could have spared you
Giving your youth to me
(Chorus)
Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real
