Imaginary Man Lyrics - Working Man's Cafe - Ray Davies

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 unreality 

[Chorus] 

I am, I am imaginary 

I am, I am imaginary 

I'm the imaginary man 

Imaginary man, yes I am 

Imaginary, imaginary 

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 

Walked down to Preservation Hall 

Looking for the old rad 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 recognize myself 

[Chorus] 

I'm the imaginary man, imaginary man 

Imaginary man, yes I am 

Imaginary, imaginary 

Imaginary man, imaginary man
