"Real Live Flesh" lyrics

"Real Live Flesh"

I'm not your fantasy girl
I'm not your fantasy love
I'm not your fantasy flesh
That fits you like a tight glove

I know I've been away so long
You love me only in your dreams
But wake up
And see the whole line of what I'm giving

I know I've been away so long
You've loved me only in your dreams
Lucky for you, I do much better in real life

I know I've been away so long
You love me only in your dreams
Lucky for you, I do much better in real live flesh

We are not what you wanted,
We are not what you asked for
Look at us
There's a pretty smile on a lion's roar

I know I've been away so long
and maybe you ca-ca-ca-can't remember
Look at me baby, look at me baby
No no dream will end if I scream

I know I've been away so long
You love me only in your dreams
Lucky for you, I do much better in real life

I know I've been away so long
You love me only in your dreams
Lucky for you, I do much better in real live flesh
