Father John Misty - Being You Lyrics

I'm nodding yes
I'm making my face 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

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 a soul must reside

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

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
Being you
Being you
Being you
