"Being You" lyrics - FATHER JOHN MISTY

I'm nodding yes
I'm making my face go
Like I am listening, that's nice
You've seen all his films
Even the late ones like
Desire, Rancho, Last Rites

I grab the bill
My hand says I insist
Funds are moving
I am doing this

[Chorus 1:]
Just a spitting image
Of someone that I knew
Just a perfect parody
I can barely do

And I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like to be you
Can you tell me how it feels?
Can you tell me how it feels?
Being you

After the jump
I'm not even sure who's left
Maybe the stunt guy was my true self
Under the skin
We're not much on the eyes
A real mess, where soul must reside

In my memory
Is a show I call the past
I watch and decide just what I would do next

[Chorus 2:]
Just a spitting image
Of someone I forget
Such a perfect panoply
A lucky contestant

Come on down
And I wonder what it's like
I wonder what it's like to be you
Can you tell me how it feels?
I wanna know how it feels
Being you

[Outro:]
Being you
Being you
Being you
