Текст песни The Band Of Holy Joy - And Then The Real Thing Comes Along

I ask my father:
"Just Father! When it's gonna happen?"
"Son! Son! Don't worry."
So I've come to mother, I said: "Mother, Mother! When? When it's gonna happen?"
She said: "Son! Son!...

Faith rules forever and a day
Here comes fun-time, ok?
All my life I’ve dipped between the lines
Hoping everything would turn out fine

I’ve been conditioned to love
All the things in this world that are wrong
And then the real thing,
And then the real thing comes along

The kind of angel you’d die to impress
Turns out to be a devil, couldn’t care less
All my life I’ve cultivated needs
The needs that flower from bad seeds

I’ve been conditioned to love
All the things in this world that are wrong
And then the real thing,
And then the real thing comes along

All your life you’ve prayed for something heaven sent
Here it comes you mess up of course you repent
All my life I’ve bought the sad lies
But still I chase the glittering prize

I’ve been conditioned to love
All the things in this world that are wrong
And then the real thing,
And then the real thing comes along

"Son! Son!You're gonna know when it comes. When the real thing comes along it's gonna be just like that. And you don't have to waste your time.
