Reality - David Essex

Here am I and I’m wondering why I’m shaking

Nervous as a kitten, twice shy once bitten — no faking

Passers-by won’t look me in the eye, they’re hiding

Finding it hard to find someone to confide in

Standing in line, it’s a funny old time — it’s a funny old time

Reality’s gone…

What’s real and what’s not

Am I cold, am I hot?

I’m thinking

Is reality clouded by my excessive drinking?

Am I losing the thread

Is it something I said?

Today, I should have stayed in bed

Reality’s gone… reality…

R-E-A-L… I-T-Y

R-E-A-L… I-T-Y

Reality is in the eye of the beholder

I never wanted to cry on your shoulder

Reality is what you feel and comprehend to be

But as you reach to touch it — it moves away so easily

What’s in a name?

It’s a funny old game we’re playing

Does it begin when we die?

Are we buried alive?

Who’s saying…

It’s a cruel cruel world

On this mortal coil

How come the Arabs got so much oil?

Reality… reality…

R-E-A-L… I-T-Y

R-E-A-L… I-T-but why?

Reality is in the eye of the beholder

I never wanted to cry on your shoulder

Reality is what you feel and comprehend to be

But as you reach to touch it — it moves away so easily…

Reality is in the eye of the beholder

I never wanted to cry on your shoulder

Reality is what you feel and comprehend to be

But as you reach to touch it — it moves away so easily…

R-E-A-L… I-T-Y…

R-E-A-L… I-T-Y…

R-E-A-L… I-T-Y…

R-E-A-L… I-T-Y…

R-E-A-L… I-T-Y…
