Holiday from Real (2015 Remastered) (Explicit)

Holiday from Real - Jack's Mannequin

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

F**k 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'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 L A 's easy

Oh it's a picture of perfection

Ah and the postcards gonna read

An' f**k 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

Right 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

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

When it's all over

I'll come back for another year
