Lyrics

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
Then wonder why it never lasts
Maybe these are wonders
More than we may know
But 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
Call it mythology
We see what we wanna see
And everyone wants their distant dreams
So sure enough they want your picture
And your deepest point of view
You should know you ain't that pretty
And you haven't got a clue
But how you love the adoration
You believe your in-house press
And half the critics always hate you
So you get horribly depressed
Maybe these are wonders
More than we may know
But 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
Call it mythology
We see what we wanna see
You ain't nothing special
You're no more celestial
Than anyone else
As far as I can tell
Call it mythology
We see what we wanna see
And I am the snake who bites his own tail
