Joan Armatrading - Virtual Reality Lyrics

Searching for the trigger words
Looking for ties to bind you
Trying to build a destiny
You can't let fate decide it
This dream cannot be denied
Like you can't deny the pain

All around you
All is fantasy
An endless day of screens and virtual reality
And all you wanna do is

Get right back in the arms of real life
You wanna get right back in the arms of real life

You've been searching for life in all the wrong places
Like in cyber space and network bars
You gotta get right back in the arms of real life

You gotta get right back in the arms of real life

Everybody looking for good friends
But only finding acquaintances
Sometimes not even that
Just other people with a work work balance
Looking for other people skipping work work
Work work

What just happened
To the life force
All I want
Is all I need
Is all I want
Is all I need

Who can say the most with less
Acronym your whole life story
Change your name and change your sex
But you can't deny the pain

All around you
All is fantasy
An endless day of screens and virtual reality
And all you wanna do is

Get right back in the arms of real life
You wanna get right back in the arms of real life

You've been searching for life in all the wrong places
Like in cyber space and network bars
You gotta get right back in the arms of real life

You gotta get right back in the arms of real life
Gotta get right back in the arms of real life

Get right back in the arms of real life
Get right back in the arms of real life
