lyrics

The Stevens have a tough job.
The Stevens’ is a tough life.
I see ‘em on the screen now.
Perfect husband, perfect wife.
Please, please bring me into reality.

Steve is a handyman--
doesn’t really work with his hands.
He’s not rich, so don’t misunderstand.
Steve eats his dinner out of cans, singing
“Please, please bring me into reality.”

Stephanie has a black lab,
a puppy that she loves to death.
And she believes he loves her constantly,
that man’s best friend must be the best,
singing “Please, please bring me into reality.”

Please
Don’t bring me up or down
Please
Don’t drive me around
just to let me see
all the things we set out to,
like the window’s our TV.
“Please, please bring me into reality.”

Several Stevens in the park reenact
or something in that vein.
Playing at being righteous figures,
but St. Stephen will remain.
“Oh please, please bring me into reality.”

Stephanie is what Stephanie says
and she’s trying to be someone lately.
She is running the race, she’s lifting up her face,
she is having her husband’s baby,
“Oh please, please bring me into reality.”

You can have it your way, you could spend all day
with the Stevens, Stephanie and Steve.
Had such a good time singing their lives,
feels like they might be a part of me.
Somebody please, please bring me into reality.

Please
don’t bring me up or down
Steve
please don’t drive me around
just to let me see
all the things we set out to,
like the window was a screen.
Oh, Please please
bring me into reality.
Please please
bring me into reality.
