I Wish I Was A Girl

The devil's in the dreamin'

He tells you I'm not sleepin'

In my motel room alone

With nothing to believe in

You dive into the traffic rising up

And it's so quiet

You're surprised and then you wake

For all the things you're losing

You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change

And I'm going down to Hollywood

They're gonna make a movie from the things

That they find crawling round my brain

I wish I was a girl

So that you could believe me

And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep

I wish for all the world

That I could say

Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right

These days

The devil's in the dreamin'

You see yourself descending

From the building to the ground

And you watch the sky receding

And you spin to see the traffic

Rising up and it's so quiet

And you're surprised and then you wake

For all the things I'm losing

I might as well resign myself to try and make a change

And I'm going down to Hollywood

They're gonna make a movie from the things

That they find crawling round my brain

I wish I was a girl

So that you could believe me

And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep

I wish for all the world

That I could say

Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right

These days

And one of these dreams

You forgive me

It makes me think of the bad decisions

That keep you at home

How could anyone else have changed

But these are wrong conclusions

That leave you alone

How could everyone rearrange

How could everyone else have changed

What I see

I believe

For all the things I'm losing

I might as well resign myself to try and make a change

And I'm going down to Hollywood

They're gonna make a movie from the things

That they find crawling round my brain

Well I can't sleep at night [4x]
