lyrics

Please come over in the morning
Paint your name up on the awning
I left a little space there next to mine
If I beg for your forgiveness
Can we both go into business
Selling sexy photographs on-line
Well, there used to be a time
When I dreamed of something more
But that was long ago
Now I'm gettin' realistic
Yeah I'm gettin' realistic

‘Cause I won't be a musician
Or a famous politician
I've hidden my ambitions in a vault
I know it isn't funny
But I gotta get some money
I'm sorry, it's nobody's fault
When my friends all settled down
I pitied them so much
I said, "That won't be me!"
But I'm gettin' realistic
Yeah I'm gettin' realistic

So stand over by the light, dear
Take your shirt off if you like, dear
Let me take a photograph of you
We'll post it on our web-site
For lonely folks at midnight
With credit cards in cozy Katmandu
Well, there used to be a time
If you said I'd stoop so low
I'd laugh right in your face
But I'm gettin' realistic
Yeah I'm gettin' realistic

Yeah, I'm gettin' real
But I don't know how I feel
‘Cause still I miss my foolish dreams
