It's a perfectly reasonable question, or is it?
lyrics
ARE YOU FOR REAL


Are you for real? Was the first thing that I heard
When I was born. They tried to put me in a skirt.
Well I couldn't live like that. I need a strap across my back.
Just to feel that stinging pain. Lets me know I’m my man again.
Can you touch me without giving me a name?
Hold your head up high. When the bitch has gone insane
No I don't want to live my life, with a car and a wife.
What's the difference in the end between your last lover
and your best friend?

I never left you like that. Did I?
I never shouted like that. Did I?
I never hit you back. Did I?
I never loved you back, did I?

My emptiness is my grip on my gun.
My lover, well, she's the reason I have come
To this, my final resting place.
Take my mask off of my face.
Tighten your grip on my spine.
Show me yours, I'll take back mine.

Can't take it back. Not after you fell out of my head.
You'll be sorry you never told me, ‘cause I’ll end up dead.
No I cannot seem to find just the smallest piece of my own mind.
And as my shoes they begin to speak I realise I've started to leak.

I never left you like that. Did I?
I never shouted like that. Did I?
I never hit you back. Did I?
I sure as hell never loved you back, did I?
