Reality Attack by Poison Girls Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1979

Reaching out my hand
I slipped my fingers 'round
Our most expensive fruits
Of some yellow colour

Reaching out my hand
I softly stroke the boy's face
In memory of darkness

Reaching out my hand
At the bossman's door
I turn the handle

Reaching out my hand
I touched the money
Reaching out my hand
I took the money

Reaching out my hand
I felt the cold zip
And the rough cloth of his trousers
And the pigskin leather wallet
Was fat in my fingers
Stuffed with his papers
Stuffed with his money
Slipped to the floor
Fell out from my feet
Fell down by my feet
It was out of control
Out of control

Reaching out my hand
I saw the handcuffs
Reaching out my hand
I felt the handcuffs

It's alright, ladies, it's only a reality attack
It's alright, ladies, you'll get your sanity back
Reality attack
Reality attack
Reality attack
Reality attack

Reaching down my hand
I slipped my fingers 'round
A strange, repulsive fruit
Of some rare, blue colour

Reaching down my hand
The baby spun from my grasp
And lept into the night sky
Reaching out my hand
At the supermarket
Nights-mare of ugliness

I am alone

I cry for mercy
Reaching out my hand
I cry for mercy

Reaching out my hand
At the impossible dream
Of the merchants of knives
Purveyors of furniture
Dealers of dust
Displayers of lies
Dealers in death
Polluters of flesh
Packagers of packets
Takers of tickets
Fillers of shelves
From the shelf I choose
I choose

Reaching out my hand
I take the poison
Reaching out my hand
I take the poison
It's alright, ladies, it's only a reality attack
It's alright, ladies, you'll get your sanity back
Reality attack
Reality attack
Reality
Attack reality
Attack reality

Attack!
I am alone
Attack!
I am alone
Attack!
I am alone
Attack!
I am alone
