|
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 |
