Nothing Special Lyrics - Humming - Duncan Sheik

You play guitar for perfect strangers 

You write some words they try to sell 

And then you sing these things in public 

Sometimes not very well 

You get paid to go to parties 

Drinking colors talking trash 

You get laid because you're arty 

And you wonder why it never lasts 

Maybe these are wonders more than we may know 

Well I hate to steal your thunder 

You ain't nothing special 

You're no more celestial than anyone else 

As far as I can tell I call it mythology 

We see what we want to see 

And everyone wants their distant dreams 

So sure enough they want your picture 

And your deepest point of view 

Well you should know you ain't not that pretty 

And you haven't got a clue 

But how you love the adoration 

You believe you're in-house press 

And half the critics always hate you 

So you get horribly depressed 

Maybe these are wonders, more than we may know 

Well, I hate to steal your thunder 

You ain't nothing special 

You're no more celestial than anyone else 

As far as I can tell I call it mythology 

We see what we want to see 

You ain't nothing special 

You're no more celestial than anyone else 

As far as I can tell I call it mythology 

We see what we want to see 

And I am the snake who bites his own tail
