Duke Special - Mister Nobody lyrics

He's disappearing, one limb at a time Nobody bothers or blinks See him through keyholes, a victim of crime As his reputation shrinks A wife and three children he kissed by the door A telephone call when he left Now he's betrayed by the one that he trusts That old faithful kiss of d**h He's Mister Nobody He doesn't see that his moment won't last Oh, Mister Nobody Soon he'll be slipping on into the past He's from an old world of train tracks and tramps Damsels and villainous grins Old shaky ladders and kerosene lamps Romance and violins Now he's a relic, a fading antique A sad and embarra**ing fool Lost his last chance when they started to speak And broke all the rules, so throw out the weak We'll have to be cruel and hope that he disappears He's Mister Nobody He doesn't see that his moment won't last Oh, Mister Nobody Soon he'll be slipping on into the past So throw out the weak We'll have to be cruel and hope that he disappears
