Being Somebody Else Lyrics - Twisted - Del Amitri

How are you gonna pass the time of day in your beautiful empty shell? 

When you've shaken the hands 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 your 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 clothes horse races itself 

Now we're all so busy being somebody else
