Ryan Adams And The Cardinals - Typecast lyrics

You and I, we were born to play these parts And we play them so well So well and often, sometimes you and I forget to know Who we really are, it keeps me locked into the deal Binary stars, companions in the sky Always in orbit but never to collide We're just not going supernova anytime soon We're just two stars out under the moon Typecast, we play losers Who keep falling in love with the wrong ones We're typecast, what a show Why won't they cancel us? We got a million more seasons to go Oh no, oh yes We've been typecast Ooh Every shadow I knew you underneath Was just a studio trick, a spotlight on the stage Black puddles to simulate the depth To manipulate the young and naive and hide your age We're worse than liars, we're paid to be fakes Ghost lights in our living rooms for in-between matinees Two lonely stars, someplace beyond the moon Where the light is coming from but never receiving or getting any We're typecast, we play losers Who keep falling in love with the wrong ones We're typecast, what a show Why won't they cancel us? Oh, no Typecast, we play losers Who keep falling in love with the wrong ones We're typecast, what a show Why won't they cancel us? We've been typecast Ooh, yeah We've been typecast
