How are you going to pa - ss the time of day
In your beautiful empty shell
When you've shaken the hand of so ma - ny sinceroes
You feel like a fa - ke your - self
How do you choose between
you and me when
we both feed on
being somebody
E - E - E - E - lse
So you suck on the ju - ice of youth and use
any chemical yo - u can get
You get deeper in de - bt every step you take
on your ladder of li - feless - ness
Bye bye to the
boring times
Hel - lo to my friend,
how you been being somebody else?
E - E - E - E - lse
somebody, somebody
Now the troops in you he - ad won't o - bey what you say
And the mutiny see - ms to spread
all you can hea - r is a voice in your ear
and it's telling you tha - t 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
E - E - E - lse
somebody, somebody 4x
