The Verve Pipe - real lyrics

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

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
