Lyrics
Intro
Yeah
Picture this
Red and white stripes thick black-rimmed frames
Wandering through the absolute chaos of concrete and traffic
Listen
Verse 1
Red-and-white beanie yeah I'm stepping out the page
Left the storybooks behind now I'm stepping on the stage
Spent a lifetime hiding out in a sea of puzzle parts
Now I'm navigating streets where they don't care about your heart
Dropped the walking stick laced up battered kicks
Trading cartoon crowds for these modern-day bricks
Got my glasses on my face but the focus getting blurry
Everybody in the city in a perpetual hurry
Used to hide inside a festival a beach or outer space
Now I'm dodging rental scooters trying to keep up with the pace
Looking for a moment just to blend into the floor
Except the world ain't a page you can close anymore
Got a passport now left the illustrations flat
Tell me how a guy is supposed to maneuver out like that
Chorus
Cause I'm Wally in the real world looking for some quiet space
Trying not to stand out with this stripes-upon-my-face
They be shouting out my name when I'm waiting for the train
Hey I found you man it's driving me insane
Just a traveler lost in a labyrinth of steel
Tell me how it looks tell me what is real
Yeah I'm Wally in the real world dodging every gaze
Trying to survive through the modern-day maze
Post-Chorus
Find me find me find me now
Find me find me find me now
Verse 2
Walked right into Tesco just to grab a pint of milk
Silk shirt nah cotton but my movement smooth as silk
Cashier took a double-take scanning up my code
Said you've been missing since '87 down the Oxford Road
Laughing it off pay the contactless fee
Stepping out the sliding doors into British misery
Pissing down with rain wind howling through the street
Got my bobble hat soaked while I'm pounding on the concrete
Where's Odlaw probably dodging taxes in the city
Wenda's at the gaff wondering why I'm acting shifty
Wizard Whitebeard's stuck back home with a scroll
While I'm out here searching for a purpose and a goal
It's a madhouse out here security is tight
CCTV cameras flashing red through the night
You think being hidden in a crowd is a game
Try living in a world where they all know your name
Chorus
Cause I'm Wally in the real world looking for some quiet space
Trying not to stand out with this stripes-upon-my-face
They be shouting out my name when I'm waiting for the train
Hey I found you man it's driving me insane
Just a traveler lost in a labyrinth of steel
Tell me how it looks tell me what is real
Yeah I'm Wally in the real world dodging every gaze
Trying to survive through the modern-day maze
Post-Chorus
Find me find me find me now
Find me find me find me now
Bridge
No magnifying glass gonna save you from the bills
No fictional crowd gonna cover up the thrills
Just a guy in a sweater trying to find his own peace
Hoping that the chaos of the city finally cease
Chorus
Cause I'm Wally in the real world looking for some quiet space
Trying not to stand out with this stripes-upon-my-face
They be shouting out my name when I'm waiting for the train
Hey I found you man it's driving me insane
Just a traveler lost in a labyrinth of steel
Tell me how it looks tell me what is real
Yeah I'm Wally in the real world dodging every gaze
Trying to survive through the modern-day maze
Outro
Red and white
Still got the stripes
Just trying to find where I belong when the book closes you know
Yeah
Wally out
