Being You Lyrics by Father John Misty

Mahashmashana

2024

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
After the jump
I'm not even sure who's left
Maybe the stunt guy was my true sеlf
Under the skin
We'rе 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
