Duncan Sheik Shopping song lyrics

So you wrote me a letter which I thought was really kind

I don't recall which song it was but there was 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

Well nothing here is what it seems

I'll risk the wreckage of your dreams

It's so that you are always shopping

To steal away the cash your dropping

Listen to me when I say

Your fantasies are built to fade

So there you are, you're always shopping

Don't even try, there is no stopping

Don't misunderstand me, it always makes me smile

When I can serenade you as you're rollin' down the aisles

On this journey of your souls desires, the paradise of goods

You're doing just exactly what I think you should

Well nothing here is what it seems

I'll risk the wreckage of your dreams

It's so that you are always shopping

So while you roll you're really rocking

Listen to me when I say

Your fantasies are built to fade

So there you are, you're always wanting

What you don't have is always haunting

There's 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

There surely is not anything further from the truth

When I have pretty things to gain and only useless things to loose

I wish there were another way

But 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

Lets 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

'Cause We are always by ourselves

Lets go shopping together

So that we can find ourselves
