Lyrics Mister Nobody - Duke Special

Mister Nobody

He’s disappearing, one limb at a time
Nobody bothers or blinks
See him through keyholes, a victim of crime
As his reputation shrinks
A wife and three children he kissed by the door
A telephone call when he left
Now he’s betrayed by the one that he trusts
That old faithful kiss of death
He’s Mister Nobody
He doesn’t see that his moment won’t last
Oh, Mister Nobody
Soon he’ll be slipping on into the past
He’s from an old world of train tracks and tramps
Damsels and villainous grins
Old shaky ladders and kerosene lamps
Romance and violins
Now he’s a relic, a fading antique
A sad and embarrassing fool
Lost his last chance when they started to speak
And broke all the rules, so throw out the weak
We’ll have to be cruel and hope that he disappears
He’s Mister Nobody
He doesn’t see that his moment won’t last
Oh, Mister Nobody
Soon he’ll be slipping on into the past
So throw out the weak
We’ll have to be cruel and hope that he disappears
