Jack`s Mannequin Holiday From Real Lyrics

Holiday From Real Lyrics

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



Oh, California in the Summer

Ah, and my hair is growing long

Fuck yeah, we can live like this



But if you left it up to me

Everyday 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



I looked 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



Oh, it's a picture of perfection

Ah, and the postcards gonna read

"Fuck yeah we can live like this...

We can live like this"



But if you left it up to me

Everyday 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



Hey Madeline (hey Madeline)

You sure look fine (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



But if you left it up to me

Everyday 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

But when it's all over

I'll come back for another year



When it's all over 

I'll come back for another

When it's all over 

I'll come back for another year
