the true one
Changes come  so quickly, easily it can seem bizarre  They say there's a price to pay  for going out too far You can buy  a one way ticket out there all alone And you can sit and wonder why  It's so hard to get back home  Nothing is important lost, that's not easy to believe The longer you're in one place, the harder it is to leave You can have a thousand cards to pull out of your sleeve But in the end the loser is  the one who does deceive There's always a reality in what you are doing  Sometimes it's so hard to see  which one is the true one I use to treat my friends like I was more than a millionaire  Spending those big ones like I could afford them all upstairs                                        But what's been flying high must always touch the ground Just walk upstairs and ask  you'll be likely directed down  Into the reality of what you are doing  Sometimes it's so hard to see  which one is the true one There's always a reality in what you are doing     Sometimes it's so hard to see  which one is the true one
