unreal reality the real thing

The Kinks

All that I see, seems so unreal to me,
Is it the truth or is it only fantasy,
Is it a dream or is it unreal reality?

All around me is such unreality,
Optical illusions as far as my eyes can see,
Is the whole thing a fake, or the ultimate reality?

That house is so big that it reaches right up to the clouds
It s got hundreds of windows, so the people inside can look out,
And they look down below and wonder what it s all about.

Look at that lady she got silver all over her face,
Is she a human being or a creature from outer space,
Is she authentic or phoney, I guess it s just a matter of taste.

Oh because they can feel it, it s gotta be the real thing,
Because they can touch it, it s gotta be reality.
If they say it s real, it s gotta be the real thing.

See that fella, looking all spick and span,
Is he a tailor s dummy or is he a real man,
Is he genuine, or straight off the assembly line.

All round me is such unreality,
Optical illusions as far as my eyes can see,
Is the whole thing a fake or the ultimate reality?

Is it a dream, or is it the real reality?
