Not A Common Man Lyrics

(Music and Lyrics by Duncan Sheik)

Look at history, open the books
There are statues with great looks
There are gods, there are kings
I'm pretty sure I'm the same thing.
Beyond boundaries, beyond rules
I've been taught in the best schools.
There is little I won't do, is the same thing true of you?

(Chorus)
I am needing so much more, every pleasure is a bore.
I am something other than a common man
I'm not a common man.

I do suspect I'm one of few.
I can show you something new.
All the constraints, they are all gone
I will confess no interest in right and wrong

(Chorus)
I am needing so much more, ever pleasure is a bore.
I am something other than a common man
I'm not a common man

I am reeling for a war
What's the difference? Whose keeping score?
There's no reason to be fair.
Doesn't matter when you're not there.
Are you loosing too much blood?
Let it flow (let it flow)
Let it flow (let it flow)
Just keep breathing, if you can
And you will see I'm not a common man. I am needing so much more, every pleasure is a bore.
I am something other than a common man. I'm not a common man.

(Spoken)
Sabrina will have a limp tomorrow.
Kristin will have a black eye and lacerations on her back from a coat hanger.
They will both leave my apartment bleeding. Okay.
