The Fratellis - Getting Surreal

Well everybody knows when, ah, tell me again
Fatten up the pig and baby, let's pretend
That I can see the joke at the beginning or the end
Livin' on this ticket, honey, then I'll be your best friend

Alakazam, kalakazoo, salaam
Meet in the jungle where they never give a damn
If your clothes don't fit or if your marriage is a sham
They never weigh a woman by the kilo or the gram

If you got to make it baby, make it real
Get up off your knees and tell me how you feel
Nothin' untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes, this is gettin' surreal

Well written in the stars is a great big lie
That you never get to see until the minute that you die
By the time you get to heaven you're a whole nother guy
It's maybe just as well that you never had a bird eye

Little pig, little pig, lock your door
Take the gun from the wall and even up the score
I don't even know who the sun shines for
And I don't believe what I believe anymore

If you got to make it baby, make it real
Get up off your knees and tell me how you feel
Nothin' untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes, this is gettin' surreal

Hollywood dance might flash me a grin
Laughin' gas don't cut it when you're rotten within
Nothin' untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes, this is gettin' surreal

...

Well it's hotdog logic in a grapefruit time
Flutter your eyelids, and honey you'll be fine
Throw me your sins and I'll keep 'em with mine
You got a head full of stone and that's something divine

Get a little headrush, swallow a fly
Cut off your memories and hang them out to dry
It was a beautiful noise when I was tumbling by
Well I was never here, that was never you or I

If you got to make it baby, make it real
Get up off your knees and tell me how you feel
Nothin' untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes, this is gettin' surreal

Hollywood dance might flash me a grin
Laughin' gas don't cut it when you're rotten within
Nothin' untrue can ever be revealed
Cover my eyes, this is gettin' surreal
