I Wish I Was A Girl

[Verse 1] The devil's in the dreaming He tells you I'm not sleeping In my motel room alone With nothing to believe in You dive into the traffic rising up And it's so quiet [Chorus] 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 going to 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 [Verse 2] The devil's in the dreaming 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 [Chorus] 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 going to 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 going to make a movie from the things That they find crawling round my brain Well I can't sleep at night [4 times]
