Reality Lyrics by Marc Bolan

Pictures of Purple People

2015

Reality don't mean too much to those
Whose eyes speak fire, disregarding people's clothes
I know because I've kissed the queen
Who saw the god of the fire machine
Who laughed much more than secretly
He laughed because he knew reality

Reality, I know that gold is glass
Seen through the eyes of those who live in the past

Knowing that what or caring who
That the smilest Madonna is smiling for you
You laugh, you timeless unborn fool
And the smiling Madonna looks never to blow her cool

Have you heard the cry of a dying bird
Who only saw what it heard
And only heard what most people see
You may complain but you know it to be
The extended hand of death reality
