Album:
This Charming Life
Searching for the trigger words
 Looking for ties to bind you
 Trying to build a destiny
 You can't let fate decide it
 This dream cannot be denied
 Like you can't deny the pain


 All around you 
 All is fantasy
 An endless day of screens and virtual reality
 And all you wanna do is


 Get right back in the arms of real life
 You wanna get right back in the arms of real life


 You've been searching for life in all the wrong places
 Like in cyber space and network bars
 You gotta get right back in the arms of real life 


 You gotta get right back in the arms of real life


 Everybody looking for good friends
 But only finding acquaintances 
 Sometimes not even that
 Just other people with a work work balance
 Looking for other people skipping work work
 Work work


 What just happened
 To the life force
 All I want 
 Is all I need
 Is all I want 
 is all I need 


 Who can say the most with less
 Acronym your whole life story
 Change your name and change your sex
 But you can't deny the pain


 All around you
 All is fantasy
 An endless day of screens and virtual reality
 And all you wanna do is


 Get right back in the arms of real life
 You wanna get right back in the arms of real life


 You've been searching for life in all the wrong places
 Like in cyber space and network bars
 You gotta get right back in the arms of real life 


 You gotta get right back in the arms of real life
 Gotta get right back in the arms of real life


 Get right back in the arms of real life
 Get right back in the arms of real life
