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 itself 
Now we're all so busy being somebody else.
