Lyrics

BEYOND REALITY
by James Webb
© 1985, 2007. Amadeus WAM

I can’t believe this is happ’ning to me,
Just lost my job after fifteen years.
They say a recession is going around,
Some still standing but I’ve fallen down.
Don’t ask me what it means, I don’t know.
Whole world’s moving too fast,
And my brain’s going slow.

Flashing blue light pulls me to my senses,
Cops pull me over for sundry offences.
Judge says I’m guilty of DUI,
Without my licence how will I get by?
Don’t ask me what it means, I don’t know.
Reality’s pushing away,
And it’s hard to say ‘No’.

Chorus
Don’t try to find me, I won’t be there.
And if you telephone,
There’ll be no one to hear.
If you must, then write a letter.
Address it to me,
Care of ‘Beyond Reality’.

My wife just left me to live with her doctor
Took the only kid that I ever got on with.
One I got left says she needs an abortion
Another just got booked, caught in possession.
Don’t ask me what it means, I don’t know.
Reality’s no where in sight,
I just had to let go.

(Repeat Chorus)
