I plug in at half past ten Pull on a face I like better than The one that's waiting in the mirror there Different eyes, different smile, different hair Log in, load up, the world rezzes in Grass comes first and then the sky begins I've got twelve outfits and a house on the sea And absolutely nobody knows it's me [Chorus] Living in OpenSim Where the lag is the only thing real I built these cobblestones one by one And I know exactly how they feel The sun goes down when I want it to The neighbours wave hello Living in OpenSim Where the best version of me gets to go My avatar walks like she's not in pain She dances in the rain without a cane She wears a sundress at the end of the pier And she doesn't have to explain herself here [Chorus] Living in OpenSim Where the lag is the only thing real I built these cobblestones one by one And I know exactly how they feel The sun goes down when I want it to The neighbours wave hello Living in OpenSim Where the best version of me gets to go [Bridge] It's not running away It's more like — running toward Someone I recognise Someone I can afford To be, just for a while Just for a Tuesday night Just for however long The connection stays right [Final Chorus] Living in OpenSim Where the lag is the only thing real I built these cobblestones one by one And I know exactly how they feel The sun goes down when I want it to The neighbours wave hello Living in OpenSim Where the best version of me gets to go [Outro] Logging off now World saving, please wait I'll be back tomorrow Seven-fifteen — maybe eight
