Is that all America?
Bad television, living in denial, I know
'Cause I don't wanna knowWanna run, wanna fly
Let my illusions take me through the night
It's alright, wanna be the lightI was born in a cardboard box, New York City, 1963
Poetry readings and bohemians
Now inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud
I can hear you sing like an angelMerilee, Merilee, she takes forever
But she's always laughing, laughing about anything
I could be so happy
As long as my friends are hangin' around me, around meAre we all fast food and no introspection?
All done with mirrors, but no real reflection
I wanna live in my own little worldWhere inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud
I can hear you sing like an angelNaivete', this world is lost on me
Naivete', I don't wanna know anywayHangin' all around
Hangin' all aroundHangin' all around
Hangin' allI always pictured my life this way
As two women order their Chardonnay
Sitting alone in some dirty cafeWhere inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud
I can hear you sing like an angelNaivete', this world is lost on me
Naivete', I don't wanna know anyway
