Real Love
Fall into the century on a supersonic cross
Blessed she in aching silence, eternal loss
Calling out "I won't surrender a locket of her hair"
Sympathize her pious pleasures, go down the stairs
Into the dark again
To feel alive again, and wait for
Real love
Or is it me you're after?
Is it time?
Cause it's now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Real love
Born of the ball and chain
Into a world sustained with sorrow
Real love
A real touch we speak in
Is it lies?
Or is what we're seeking?
Real love
In the eyes, behold and you'll find the 21st century
Detonate her will and her widowed speech
Buried in the backyard shadow, the rusty coffee tin
That held her mother's first kiss in a nameless dream
Fall down the stairs again
To feel alive against tomorrow
Real love
Or is it me you're after?
Is it time?
Cause it's now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Is it love?
Or just yours to treasure?
Real love
Real love
Real love
We never listen
Real love will listen
And tell of a fortune
Real love is riches
Scratch through the changes
Real love is nameless
So tired and hopeless
Real love is painless
Nobody mentions
We ever move to collect
The solar questions
Demon scorn should not relax
The laws of gravity
Real love
