Paula came from Washington with long golden hair
Paula arrived from Washington with beautiful long hair.

Street life's the only life they take a walk in the park
They were accustomed to street life and went for a walk in the park.

Even tough they only met that day they were lovers by dark

Laid out on the morning skies he puts a ring on her hand
He proposed to her on a beautiful morning and put a ring on her finger.

He said listen babe we gotta take what's ours do it or die
He told her they had to go for what they wanted, even if it meant risking their lives.

Quit dreaming, this is real life baby
Stop dreaming, this is the harsh reality.

Real life's the only life what's it all about
Life is not a dream, it is a reality to be dealt with.

Way out on the dock that night, the colour is red
Out on the dock at night, there was violence and bloodshed.

23rd victim of a gangland war takes his last breath

Outside the sister cried, she said the whole world's so mean
The sister of the victim cried and lamented how cruel the world can be.

Heavyweight killer in the ring, turns killing machine

Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby
Stop dreaming of an easy life, this is reality.

Your eyes, your lips, the shape of your mouth,
The artist appreciates the way the person they love looks.

It's a sweet life baby

All my love, you're my all

The universe and its beauty are appreciated by the artist.

If this going to kill us then let it go,

Up high above a desert sky where the space shuttles scream,
High above in the desert sky, space shuttles fly very quickly and loudly.

Sixteen men from a dying earth take their last dream.
Sixteen men from a dying earth have one last dream before they pass away.

Quit dreaming this is cheap life baby

The way you move, you're in control
The way the person being spoken to moves speaks of confident control.

Quit dreaming this is real life baby
