Real Lyrics - Singles - Verve Pipe

My sister had a nursery rhyme, set of figurines 

She'd often let me play with them 

I'd set 'em up in different scenes 

Fifty plastic army men, led by Superman 

Destroyed the ranks of Mother Goose 

Mary and her little lamb slips away 

And catches sister getting real and I can too 

As long as I don't make a sound 

When we were real, we were in love 

With everyone and everything 

I guess it was the beauty of 

A bluebird clears his throat of phlegm 

And static singing operatic 

Evening comes and the butterflies are 

Bats eat the spider that had saddled up beside her 

And the dish, his lovin' spoon were never found 

And I'm taking flight, seeking relief 

The lure of handkerchief so white 

I chase it straight into the ground 

Lamb slips away 

And catches sister getting real and I can too 

As long as I don't make a sound 

And I'm taking flight, seeking relief 

The lure of handkerchief so white 

I chase it straight into the ground
