I don't want to fight
Every single night
Everything I want is in your eyes
You and me go back
To places I don't know to care
The spoils of all I got were left for scraps
Don't let me say this
But you're no worse than me
It's crazy

We are as real if real ever was
Just because we are the real, they feel we have enough
We are the real 'cause someone gave us up

I wanna be there when you're happy
I wanna love you when you're sad
Can't stand the morning rain?
Get out, I'll take your place then
Can't stand the blazing sun?
Then close your eyes, you'll see
The angel dust

I don't wanna be anything believed
A million watts of sound can't compare
Come along, you'll see the world
The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls
The current starts to flow, and then you're on

Oh, it's the white hot soul they want
To sing for

We are the real if real ever was
Just because we are the ruin of every living soul
We are surreal 'cause someone gave us up

Don't break the oath
I wanna love you when you're happy
Don't break this oath
I wanna be there when you're sad
Freeze-frame the pouring rain

We are the real, as real as any ghost
So easy now
We are the real in every living soul
Oh don't they know?

Can't stand the blazing sun?
Can't stand the morning rain?
Ah, get out, I'll take your place again
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be alone, at all

If it's a white hot soul they want
Then a black heart they'll get

    This song is fucking horrible. The riff is pretty good and the solos are amazing, but it has the WORST vocal melody, that doesn't fit the riff well. The riff reminds me of "Bodies" off disc two of Mellon Collie, if Billy would have just used a similar vocal melody on this, although it would have been unoriginal, it would have shown the reunion had potential. Which it really did, and does, but not until Teargarden and onward.

    Anyway, Jimmy said this song was a culmination of everything him and Billy had listened to growing up. And Billy said the songs title is nudge to the German rock band The Scorpions.
