lyrics

Former Mr. Snuffleupagus
I see you walking down the street
I imagine you’re in Brooklyn
Though I don’t know why that is

Former Mr. Snuffleupagus
Is it sunny where you live
Then perhaps you’re in Los Angeles
But I don’t see you happy there
And I wonder if you’ve ever shed your skin
Cause I’m questioning whose I’m living in

Former Mr. Snuffleupagus
You’re a degree or two removed
Playing someone who’s invisible
In a costume
Who can tell

If you ever had a sick day
Does the back become the front
Are there scores of understudies waiting for this time to come
Still I wonder if you’ve ever shed your skin
Cause I’m questioning whose I’m living in

Former Mr. Snuffleupagus
Are those the first words you say
When they ask you for credentials
To legitimize your pay
Former Mr. Snuffleupagus
I bet the getup got you down
They had to fan you between takes through your mouth
It got so hot
Still I wonder if you ever shed your skin
Cause I’m questioning whose I’m living in

Former Mr. Snuffleupagus
Who are you now?

She sings the things you won’t say aloud, of the foolishness, the hopefulness and the almost unbearable humanness of us all. ... more
