Counting Crows - I Wish I Was A Girl Lyrics
The devils in the dreaminHe tells you Im not sleepinIn my hotel room aloneWith nothing to believe inYou dive into the traffic rising upAnd its so quietYoure surprised and then you wakeFor all the things youre losingYou might as well resign yourself to try and make a changeAnd Im going down to hollywoodTheyre gonna make a movie from the thingsThat they find crawling round my brainI wish I was a girlSo that you could believe meAnd I could shake this static every time I try to sleepI wish for all the worldThat I could sayHey, elizabeth, you know Im doing all rightThese daysThe devils in the dreaminYou see yourself descendingFrom the building to the groundAnd you watch the sky recedingAnd you spin to see the trafficRising up and its so quietAnd youre surprised and then you wakeFor all the things Im losingI might as well resign myself to try and make a changeAnd Im going down to hollywoodTheyre gonna make a movie from the thingsThat they find crawling round my brainI wish I was a girlSo that you could believe meAnd I could shake this static every time I try to sleepI wish for all the worldThat I could say, hey, elizabeth,You know Im doing all right these daysAnd one of these dreamsYou forgive meIt makes me think of the bad decisionsThat keep you at homeHow could anyone else have changedBut these are wrong conclusionsThat leave you aloneHow could everyone rearrangeHow could everyone else have changedWhat I seeI believeFor all the things Im losingI might as well resign myself to try and make a changeAnd Im going down to hollywoodTheyre gonna make a movie from the thingsThat they find crawling round my brainI wish I was a girlSo that you could believe meAnd I could shake this static every time I try to sleepI wish for all the worldThat I could say, hey, elizabeth,You know Im doing all right these daysWell I cant sleep at night [repeated]
