Lyrics

Real Dub Thing

[Indistinct radio chatter]

Cracking under pressure, violently

Chaos eats away the best of me

A former shadow of myself

Porcelain doll, just an empty shell

Bug in amber that can't be reached

Choking on fear that stings like bleach

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Gimme the real thing

I have no friends

I'm always by myself

(I cannot pacify my shame and doubt)

Drained them dry

And damned them all to hell

(I've no control or any will to stop)

Everything perfect just melts away

I've got the touch like evil prey

Talking pictures in black and white

Spitting their venom back at mine

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Gimme the real thing

(Gimme the life)

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life (Gimme the life)

Everything old is new again

My only crime buried under cold skin

In the quiet of my tiger's eye

Cross my heart and hope to die

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life

Gimme the real thing

(Gimme the life)

Gimme the real thing

Gimme the life (Gimme the life)

Gimme the real thing
