We Are Real

Up the hill past 694, at the stone wall make a left
And I will see you soon my friend if these old directions still direct
Is the problem that we can't see
Or is that the problem is to beautiful to me?
The birds of Virginia are flying withing you
And like background singers they all come in threes
Like background singers they all come in threes

Won't soul music change
Now that our souls have turned strange?
Once a day, twice a day
And on and off collide
We'll set our souls aside and walk away

We've been raised on replicas of fake and winding roads
And day after day up on this beautiful stage
We've been playing tambourine for minimum wage
But we are real, we are real
Know we are real

Repair is the dream of the broken thing
Like a message broadcast on an overpass
All my favorite singers couldn't sing
My ski vest has buttons like connivence store mirrors
And they help me see
That everything in this room right now is a part of me
It is a part of me

Won't soul music change
Now that our souls have turned strange?
Once a day, twice a day
And on and off collide
We'll set our souls aside and walk away

Realizing is how it feels inside when it happens to you
I took a shot of sugar like snow dumped into the blood
And children wander off into the ultra economic
We are real, we are real
We are real, we are real
Know we are real
