    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Nothing Special

    by: Duncan Sheik

    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
