KMFDM - Real Thing lyrics

Cracking under pressure violently
Chaos eats away the best of me
A former shadow of myself
Porcelain doll, just an empty shell
Bug in amber that can't be reached
Choking on fear that stings like bleach

Gimme the real thing gimme the life
Give me something deep something straight
Like a sharpened knife gimme the real thing
Gimme me the life gimme the life
Gimme a fresh start like a new born child
Gimme the real thing

I have no friends i'm always by myself
I cannot pacify my shame and doubt
Drain them dry and damn them all to hell
I've no control or any will to stop
Everything perfect just melts away
I've got the touch like evil prey
Talking pictures in black and white
Spitting their venom back at mine

Gimme the real thing gimme the life
Give me something deep something straight
Like a sharpened knife gimme the real thing
Gimme the life gimme the life
Gimme a fresh start like a new born child
Gimme the real thing gimme the life
Gimme the life give me something deep
Something straight like a sharpened knife
Gimme the real thing gimme the life
Gimme the life gimme a fresh start
Like a new born child gimme the real thing
Everything old is new again
My only crime buried under cold skin
In the quiet of my tiger's eye
Cross my heart and hope to die

Gimme the real thing the real thing

Gimme the real thing gimme the life
Gimme the life give me something deep
Something straight like a sharpened knife
Gimme the real thing gimme the life
Gimme the life gimme a fresh start
Like a new born child gimme the real thing

Gimme the real thing gimme the life
Gimme a fresh start like a new born child
Gimme the real thing
