Living in the Real World Lyrics

Every day you've go to wake up and disappear behind your makeup
Take away your calendar watch and you can't keep track until your heart attack
Hey I'm living in a magazine page to page in my submarine!
Hey now Cindy you can't get to me need an elevator
Hey I'll see you later 'cause I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more
Yeah
I can be whatever I want to
I talk to me I even agree
Every day's a holiday
You can look through the glass and take a photograph
You will never ever walk on the moon leave your body and float through the room
You could never conquer me 'cause I'm not here and you're not there
And I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more
Yeah
Didn't I ever tell you I was gone?
Didn't I ever tell you I was gone?
Bye, bye!
I can do anything at all
I'm invisible and I'm twenty feet tall
Pull the plug on your digital clock and it all goes dark and the bodies stop
Hey I'm living in a magazine page to page in my teenage dream
Hey now Mary you can't follow me without a satellite
I'm on a power flight 'cause I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more

Yep. And it's classic girl punk. OOF. Tune.

Love this song. Particularly relevant given Blondies' rapid rise to success from their rather humble beginnings.
