The Disconnect - Old 97's

Orange ones pick you up blue ones get you down

Oh the glass is golden brown my my

These stairs will break your fall there’s diamonds in the steel

They’re the only thing that’s real bye bye

I am now connected to the disconnect

Where the real world holds no sway

I’ve been gone as long as I can recollect

And the real world isn’t that real anyway

My friends call me up so they can call me out

Say you’re always headed south why why

Truth is life is short truth’s in short supply

There’s barely time to cry bye bye

I am now connected to the disconnect

Where the real world holds no sway

I’ve been gone as long as I can recollect

And the real world isn’t that real anyway

No the real world isn’t that real anyway

Find your way back home or stay here on your own

And spend your life alone

Green ones turn you off white ones turn you on

Almost all night long so high

Come down pay the price it’s steeper everyday

Are you gone enough to say bye bye

Are you strong enough to say bye bye

I am now connected to the disconnect

Where the real world holds no sway

I’ve been gone as long as I can recollect

And the real world isn’t that real anyway

No the real world isn’t that real anyway

Oh the real world isn’t that real any

I am now connected to the disconnect

I am now connected to the disconnect

I am now connected to the disconnect

I am now connected to the disconnect
