Being Somebody Else Songtext
von Del Amitri

How are you gonna pass the time of day
In your beautiful empty shell?
When you′ve shaken the hand of so many sinceroes
You feel like a fake yourself

How do you choose between you and me
When we both feed on being somebody else?

So you suck on the juice of youth and use
Any chemical you can get
You get deeper in debt every step you take
On your ladder of lifelessness


Bye-bye, to the boring times
Hello, my friend, how you been being somebody else?
Somebody, somebody

Now the troops in you head won't obey what you say
And the mutiny seems to spread
All you can hear is a voice in your ear
And it′s telling you that you're dead

The Sun sets in a coffee cup
The moon throws up, the flood flows over the house
The books start jumping from the shelf
And the closed horse races itself
Now we're all so busy being somebody else


Somebody, somebody
Somebody, somebody
Somebody, somebody
Somebody, somebody
