Is this really it?
Is this the final station
It's really been quite a trip
You know it's been great to watch the sights
Playing the edited highlights
And all the outtakes you did not see
Were only my un-re-a-li-ty
2
I am, I am imaginary
I am, I am imaginary
I'm the imaginary man
Imaginary man, yes I am
Imaginary, imaginary
1
I was always in your head
To raise your expectations
And always let it be said
I offered my very best to you
Gave you my dreams to aspire to
Involved you in all my crazy schemes
And took you to places you'd never seen
1
Walked down to Preservation Hall
Looking for the old trad band
It was just a momentary glance
I saw my reflection in the glass
Watched as the world went flashing past
I knew the face but could not tell
Why I couldn't recognise myself
2
I am, I am imaginary
I am, I am imaginary
I'm the imaginary man
Imaginary man, yes I am
Imaginary, imaginary
I'm the imaginary man, imaginary man
Imaginary man, yes I am
Imaginary, imaginary
Imaginary man, imaginary man.
