Del Amitri - Being Somebody Else lyrics

How are you going to 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 to my friend
How you been being somebody else?
Now the troops in you head
Won't obey what you say
And the mutiny seems to spread
And 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 it'self
Now we're all so busy being somebody else
Roll to me
