reality used to be a friend of mine – PM Dawn


Reality used to be a friend of  mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Maybe ‘Why?’ is the  question that’s on you mind
But reality used to be a friend of  mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Please don’t ask me ’cause I don’t know why
But reality used to be a friend of mine
I used to be friends with reality
She used to be a pal real close to me
But she tried to hide from me what was in store
Tried to house me but a house has doors
I was insane and the picture was  crazy
So the relevance here seems  to be a bit hazy
But I tried to  explain this in the simplest terms
She let the cross burn and it was my turn to say
“The roses are red, and violets are  blue
And things are gonna stay that  way, too”
And I was the nut to  believe all of this
I figured life  would just hand me bliss
Now I  have to worry about certain doom
Or  will I be here tomorrow afternoon?
Now ask me about the future[Incomprehensible]
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Maybe ‘Why?’ is the question that’s on your mind
But reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality used to be a friend of  mine
Reality used to be a friend of  mine
Please don’t ask me ’cause I  don’t know why
But reality used to  be a friend of mine
I remember  Sandy gave me a hand
Now I’m known  as the maniac man
Looking and  searching for a shred of proof
Knowing any time this world could go poof
Now what might happen without me knowin’
That’s why I find myself always tip-tip  toeing
She tried to let prophecy  sneak up on me
But I woke up, I  told her “Yo step off me”
What you want me to do?
You want me to sweat blood
And hang up on your strings like a marionette does?
Go  to the PM on the dock of the bay, sit
You  need a clue, go back to the basics
She  needs to learn her ABC’s
Her and I  sail on different seas
She sees  different from what I sees
Do you  believe?  Hell no
Reality used  to be a friend of mine
Reality used  to be a friend of mine
Maybe ‘Why?’  is the question that’s on you mind
But reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Please don’t ask me ’cause I don’t know why
But reality used to be a friend of mine
I lost touch with reality
I  keep it as far as I can from Prince Be
I  just didn’t run with the way she flowed
To  where I just said “Yo, I gots to go”
But  my heart wasn’t ill or mad at just chose to laugh at her
And  disregard everything she tells me
Believe in her and she’s happy and healthy
What is real, a positive plane
Reality and life are not the same
As to her equivalence to what is real
She doesn’t appeal to how I feel
Maybe I should try trans channeling her
Prince, you’re taking this trip to far
Okay, fine, never mind
But  reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality  used to be a friend of mine
Reality  used to be a friend of mine
Maybe  ‘Why?’ is the question that’s on you mind
But  reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality  used to be a friend of mine
Reality  used to be a friend of mine
Please  don’t ask me ’cause I don’t know why
But  reality used to be a friend of mine
Oh  reality
Oh reality
Chase the blues away
Take your mind off reality and leave her alone
Chase the blues away
Take your mind off reality and leave her alone
Chase the blues away
Take your mind off reality and leave her alone
Chase the blues away
Take your mind off reality and leave her alone
Chase the blues away
Take your mind off reality and leave her alone
Chase the blues away
Take your mind off reality and leave her alone…
