written by Warren Zevon 1994. Music Corporation of America Inc. BMI. They say the devil's in the details. I know what they mean. I'm walking in the wasteland. With the Ghost in the Machine. There's a simulated sunset. Starlight in my eyes. The skies are filled with miracles. And half of them are lies. Are you real or not?. It's a fine line. Are you ready or not. For the light of day. Are you real or not?. These are strange times. And I don't want to live this way. When you wake up from a nightmare. And it's worse when you're awake. And there's no one you can turn to. And there's nothing you can take. Are you real or not?. It's a fine line. Are you ready or not. For the light of day ?. Are you real or not?. These are strange times. And I don't want to live this way.
