Shapeshifters - Sam Roberts Band

We are all shapeshifters

We are all lonely drifters

In forgotten hours when we escape

Through the winking eyes and the secret handshakes

Disposable me, expendable you

Just take what you need and do what you do

You’ve taken me under, this heart has seen better days

You’ve got my number, girl there’s no changing my ways

Over and over you’re on your own

Shapeshifters, shapeshifters

Shapeshifters, shapeshifters

I’m running from me

I’m hiding from you

There goes my alter-ego

You know everyone that I know

A bend in the stream, a bend in the truth

There goes my alter-ego

You know all the people I know

Oh, you blew my cover

You’re that kind of lover

You’re that kind of lover

You’ve taken me under, this heart has seen better days

You got my number, girl there’s no changing my ways

Over and over you’re on your own

Shapeshifters, shapeshifters

There goes my alter-ego

You know everyone that I know

Shapeshifters, shapeshifters, shapeshifters

Sometimes I feel I’m slipping away

I feel I’m slipping away…

Woah, it’ll be alright in the morning

Woah, try to keep them fires burning

Woah, open up your eyes

‘Cause the man and the devil are in cahoots

But down here everybody has twisted roots

Woah, it’ll be alright in the morning

Woah, try to keep them fires burning

Woah, when the sun did rise

Everybody was gone, you were far from home

You were on your own…

Shapeshifters, shapeshifters

There goes my alter-ego

You know everyone that I know

Shapeshifters, shapeshifters

There goes my alter-ego

You know all the people I know

And we are all shapeshifters

There goes my alter-ego

You know everyone that I know

We are all lonely drifters

There goes my alter-ego

Sometimes I feel I’m slipping away

Sometimes I feel I’m slipping away

Sometimes you’re on your own…
