Is It Real Lyrics

John Illsley Is It Real

You're giving me the false impression
How it's meant to be
All those things you do to yourself
Changed the natural course of life

Where you started from
Ain't nothing wrong with any of that
But most of you has gone

You broke the rules, turned back the clock
Did everything in reverse
The ball and chain, the waiting game
Was it good for you pulling through

The years just slip away
Ain't nothing wrong with any of that
But is it real?

Is it real, real, real as can be?
Real as the king's new clothes
Is it real, real, real as can be?
Nobody knows

Can you Adam and Eve it
When the chips are down
When push comes to shove
And you're looking for love

Last curtain call for whom the bell tolls
Things that go bump in the night
Ain't nothing wrong with any of that
But is it real?

Is it real, real, real as can be?
Real as the king's new clothes
Is it real, real, real as can be?
Nobody knows

Is it real, real, real as can be?
Real as the king's new clothes
Is it real, real, real as can be?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Is it real?
Are you real?
So what's real?
