Real and Unreal Songtext
von Al Stewart

Did you ever have the feeling you′re
The only person living in the world?
The people that you see are one-dimensional or never there at all
Even just the commonplace warm familiar greetings are a lie
Their voices and their faces are as empty as the space beyond the sky
Marilyn is walking with her scarf around her head against the rain
The doorways and the shops fill up with
People and it's pouring down again
A man with an umbrella seems to see her but he turns and looks away
And nothing really matters ′cause there's
Nothing that she wants to do or say
In the real and unreal In the real and unreal
As she puts the key inside the door she's just an ordinary girl
Did you ever have the feeling you′re
The only person living in the world?
In the real and unreal
In the real and unreal
Tomorrow comes around and yet she doesn′t feel a part of it at all
Did you ever have the feeling you're
The only person living in the world?
Only person living in the world
Only person living in the world
