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 but she let the cross burn and it was my turn to say the roses are red and violets are blue j 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 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 yp on me but i woke up i told her yo step off me what you wnat 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 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 her i just chose to laugh at her and disragard everything she tells me believe in her and she s happy and healthy what is real a posotive plane reality and life are no the same as to her equivalent to what is real she doesn t appeal to how i feel maybe i should try transchanneling her ok fine nevermind but reality used to be a friend of min  chase the blues away take your mind off reality and leave her alone
