Holiday From Real Lyrics - Everything In Transit - 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 

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'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' 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 

Right here" 

Hey Madeline, you sure look fine 

You wore my favorite sweater 

Being poor was never better 

A safety buzz, 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 

When it's all over 

I'll come back for another year
