Lyrics
0:11You play guitar for perfect strangers
0:16You write some words they try to sell
0:21And then you sing these things in public
0:26Sometimes not very well
0:31You get paid to go to parties
0:37Drinking colors talking trash
0:42You get laid because you're arty
0:46And you wonder why it never lasts
0:52Maybe these are wonders more than we may know
1:02Well I hate to steal your thunder
1:08You ain't nothing special
1:10You're no more celestial than anyone else
1:16As far as I can tell I call it mythology
1:20We see what we want to see
1:23And everyone wants their distant dreams
1:42So sure enough they want your picture
1:47And your deepest point of view
1:52Well you should know you ain't not that pretty
1:57And you haven't got a clue
2:02But how you love the adoration
2:07You believe you're in house press
2:12And half the critics always hate you
2:17So you get horribly depressed
2:23Maybe these are wonders more than we may know
2:32Well I hate to steal your thunder
2:38You ain't nothing special
2:40You're no more celestial than anyone else
2:46As far as I can tell I call it mythology
2:50We see what we want to see
2:56You ain't nothing special
2:58You're no more celestial than anyone else
3:04As far as I can tell I call it mythology
3:08We see what we want to see
3:11And I am the snake who bites his own tail
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 And you wonder why it never lasts Maybe these are wonders more than we may know Well 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 I call it mythology We see what we want to see And everyone wants their distant dreams So sure enough they want your picture And your deepest point of view Well you should know you ain't not that pretty And you haven't got a clue But how you love the adoration You believe you're in house press And half the critics always hate you So you get horribly depressed Maybe these are wonders more than we may know Well 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 I call it mythology We see what we want to see You ain't nothing special You're no more celestial than anyone else As far as I can tell I call it mythology We see what we want to see And I am the snake who bites his own tail
