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
 Oh yeah, if these old directions still direct

 Is the problem that we can't see
 Or is it that the problem is beautiful to me?
 Birds of Virginia are flyin' within ya
 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
 When 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, real
 I 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
 All my favourite singers couldn't sing

 My ski vest has buttons like convenience store mirrors
 And they help me see
 That everything in this room right now is a part of me
 Oh yeah, is a part of me

 Won't soul music change
 Now that our souls have turned strange?
 Once a day, twice a day
 When on and off collide
 We'll set our souls aside and walk away
 
 Realizing is how it feels inside when it happens to you
 So I took a shot of sugar like snow dumped into the blood
 And children wander off into the ultra-economic
 But we're real
 We are real
 I know we are real
 I know we are real
 I know we are real
 Real, real, real, real
 Real, real, real, real
 I know we are real
