Imaginary People

Imaginary people living in a make believe world
The world keeps on spinning as the future is unfurled
It seems quite certain they have done this all their lives
Go to work each morning and kiss their plastic wifes.

I maginary people driving in their fancy cars
Although they look quite nice they don't get you very far.
A glance into the rear view mirror to see how far they've come
Instead they get a vision of the things they wished they had done.


Imaginary people thinking that they are the real deal
The only problem is that they've forgotten how to feel
You can get anything in your head and tell yourself it's alright
But  your Imagination losses out to reality winning this fight.

Imaginary people find it time to take a break
What were they thinking for heavens sake
It may appear they're real but it's really sort of fake
It just imaginary people with an imaginary take.

Imaginary people just driving home at dark
Right back where they started the end becomes the start
Imagining a vision that was never really there
Maybe just a dream of which they weren't aware.

Imaginary people lying their heads down to sleep
The rest does not come so they start to count some sheep
Imaginary people live on and Imaginary street
Imagining the world, imagining they weep.
