Typecast

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 you 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
