The Real World Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen

Mister Trouble come walkin′ this way
Year gone past feel like one long day
But I'm alive and I′m feelin' all right
Well I run that hard road outta heartbreak city
Built a roadside carnival out of hurt and self-pity
It was all wrong well now I'm movin′ on

Ain′t no church bells ringing, ain't no flags unfurled
Just me and you and the love we′re bringing
Into the real world
Into the real world

I built a shrine in my heart wasn't pretty to see
Made out of fool′s gold memory and tears cried
Now I'm headin′ over the rise
I'm searchin' for one clear moment of love and truth
I still got a little faith, but what I need is some proof tonight
I′m lookin′ for it in your eyes


Ain't no church bells ringing, ain′t no flags unfurled
Just me and you and the faith we're bringing
Into the real world
Well into the real world

Well tonight, hey I just wanna shout
I feel my soul waist deep and sinkin′
Into this black river of doubt
The height that I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside
And when the morning comes, baby, I don't wanna hide
I′ll stand right at your side with my arms open wide

Well tonight I just wanna shout
I feel my soul waist deep and sinkin'
Into this black river of doubt
And I, well I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside
'Til the morning comes
Well I′ll stand right by your side

I wanna find some answers, I wanna ask for some help
I′m tired of running scared
Baby, let's get our bags packed
We′ll take it here to hell and heaven and back
And if love is hopeless, hopeless at best
Come on put on your party dress it's ours tonight
And we′re goin' with the tumblin′ dice


Ain't no church bell ringing, ain't no flags unfurled
Just me and you and the hope we′re bringing
Into the real world
Well into the real world

Oh, into the real world
All night (all night)
