Lyrics

Verse
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

Pre-chorus
A McDonald’s drive through
A long Starbucks line

A million parking spaces
A billion separate lives
No I’m not complaining

Chorus
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

Verse
I took a silver elevator
Soared fifteen floors up
But it didn’t feel much like flying

Pre-chorus
Towering daggers
Scraping the sky
Builders race towards heaven
I wonder what they’ll find



Chorus
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

CH
I’m looking for the real thing
Looking for the real thing
Looking for the time tested
Well rested
Invested
Digested
Manifested
Star-destined feeling
Oh I’m looking for the real thing
