One For Reality

(album: 11th Song - 1993)

There's this friend of mine
Been doing time with the same girlfriend
That he's had for far too many of his days
It seems with each passing second
Her brain lets loose
The one screw which holds back the rage

Then she screams again, cries again
And it loosens a little more
It's much more than a single soul can take
And when it goes again tonight
Well, we all know who she'll blame

This friend of mine called last week
On a payphone not too far from where he stays
It seems she lost her mind again that night

'Cause she screams at him each night
Then she runs to him each day
And I just wouldn't feel right
If I looked the other way

[CHORUS:]
So that's one for reality
But you didn't hear that from me
'Cause I'll only say it's not true
Let me add one more indecency
With absolute necessity
That she never claimed to be true
Neither did you

Break up time again
And my sister calls on the phone
To ask my humble opinion
Of just what's going on

I said you scream at him each night
Then you run to him each day
And I just wouldn't feel right
If I look the other way

[CHORUS]

I hear her side and I hear his
I was on the outside, now I'm in this
My one word answer could come between them
My sister is crying, 'cause I can't decide [REPEAT]

[CHORUS]
