Lyrics: Sam Robbins
Music: Sam Robbins
Well I’m sailing smooth highway
Under soft suburb lights
Where an Applebees oversees every corner
And the Hooters parking lots
Are all shining bright
Flourescent perfection
Corporate order
A McDonald’s drive through
A long Starbucks line
A million parking spaces
A billion separate lives
No I’m not complaining
I’m just looking for the real thing
Looking for the real thing
Looking for the time tested
Well rested reason
I’m looking for the real thing
Looking for the real thing
Looking for the earth shaking
Foundation feeling
Oh I’m looking for the real thing
I took a silver elevator
Soared fifteen floors up
But it didn’t feel much like flying
Towering daggers
Scraping the sky
Builders race towards heaven
I wonder what they’ll find
I’m just looking for the real thing
Looking for the real thing
Looking for the time tested
Well rested reason
I’m looking for the real thing
Looking for the real thing
Looking for the earth shaking
Foundation feeling
Oh I’m looking for the real thing
I’m looking for the real thing
Looking for the real thing
Looking for the time tested
Well rested
Invested
Digested
Star-destined
Manifested feeling
Oh I’m looking for the real thing
