Holiday from Real Lyrics

Sound of seagulls

[Verse 1]
She thinks I'm much too thin
She asks me if I'm sick
What's a girl to do
With friends like this
She lets me drive her car
So I can score an eighth
From the lesbians
Out west in Venice

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, California in the summer
Ah, and my hair is growing long
Fuck yeah, we can live like this

[Chorus]
But if you left it up to me
Every day would be
A holiday from real
We'd waste our weeks
Beneath the sun
We'd fry our brains
And say it's so much fun out here
But when it's all over
I'll come back for another year

[Verse 2]
I'll look for work today
I'm spilling out the door
Put my glasses on
So no one sees me
I never thought that
I'd be living on your floor
But the rents are high
And LA's easy

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, it's a picture of perfection
Ah, and the postcard's gonna read
"Fuck yeah we can live like this...
We can live like this"

[Chorus]
But if you left it up to me
Every day would be
A holiday from real
We'd waste our weeks
Beneath the sun
We'd fry our brains
And write it's so much fun out here

[Bridge]
Hey Madeline
You sure look fine
You wore my favorite sweater
Being poor was never better
A safety buzz (a safety buzz)
Some cheap red wine (some cheap red wine)
Oh, the trouble we can get in
So let's screw this one up right

[Chorus]
But if you left it up to me (if you left it up to me)
Every day would be
A holiday from real
We'd waste our weeks
Beneath the sun
We'd lie and tell our friends
It's so much fun out here
When it's all over
I'll come back for another
When it's all over
I'll come back for another year
