The Mirror Song Songtext

von Thomas Dolby

Memories of things that never happened
These are always the hardest to forget
All the old friends and the loved ones
These are the people you haven't even met
Looking forward into the old days
Looking back at what there will be
There's no reality it's just an illusion
There's no real sanity just plain confusion

How do you feel?
Well I don't know just how I feel
All I know that I love you girl (what is real)
It's so real, so real, surreal

Here we go

There is no single circumstance I never took a final chance
I made it something that you can see and touch forever
I always looked the same from every angle and never cast a shadow
That would change the way you thought about your very being
That what what you were seeing would always be
Would always be
Would always be the truth

How do you feel?
Well I don't know just how I feel
All I know that I love you girl (what is real)
It's so real, so real, surreal
It's so real, so real, surreal
It's so real, so real, surreal
Ooh it's so real, so real, surreal
Oh all right ahhh!
Well I don't know just how I feel

"We have a tradition of whimsy here at Zevo toys.
Dad began that tradition with Milton the Friendly Elephant
And it carries all the way through the new line."

There is no single circumstance I never took a final chance
I made myself a thing that you could see and touch forever
You always looked the same from every angle and never cast a shadow
That would change the way I felt about about your very being
That what what you say would always be
Would always be
Would always be
Would always be the truth

How do you feel?
Well I don't know just how I feel
All I know that I love you girl
It's so real, so real, surreal
All the seasons I have spoken
All the reasons I have rhymed
For the state of incandescence
Just imagine what is real
Simply then the words were spoken
Just imagine what is real

What is real
What is real
