Duncan Sheik - Shopping lyrics

So you wrote me a letter Which I thought was really kind I don't recall which song it was But there is one you really liked And you asked me so innocently Of my inspiration Why I write the songs I sing The reasons why I make them Nothing here is what it seems Risk the wreckage of your dreams So that you are always shopping To steal away the cash you're dropping Listen to me when I say Fantasies are built to fade There you are, you're always shopping Even try, there is no stopping Don't misunderstand me It always makes me smile When I can serenade you As you're rolling down the aisles On this journey of your soul's desire The paradise of goods You're doing just exactly What I think you should Nothing here is what it seems Risk the wreckage of your dreams So that you are always shopping While you roll, you're really rocking Listen to me when I say Fantasies are built to fade There you are, you're always wanting You don't have is always haunting Still one thing I have to say My confession's not complete I've made is sound as if all this Has nothing to do with me Surely is not anything Further from the truth When I have pretty things to gain And only useless things to lose Wish there were another way I must keep the wolves at bay I hope that you don't find it shocking Rock and roll is built on shopping If you?re searching for my soul Come check out my chains of gold Grab your purse and let's go shopping For lingerie and silky stockings Let's go shopping together So that we can find ourselves So that we can buy ourselves Let's go shopping together 'Cause we are always by ourselves We are always by ourselves Let's go shopping together So that we can find ourselves
