Childish Fantasy

I have a dream (I have a dream) I refuse to be ashamed of it I swear to God... One day, I'm gonna be raised up in glory...famous I'll attend the Grammys with my good friends, Jewel and Tori Amos I'll talk to everyone (Hey, How you doin?) I'll barely pause for my first breath I'll attempt to frown at Courtney Love (I still blame her for Kurt's death) And Shania Twain'll walk up to me, wearing a buckskin vest And confide in me, y'know, privately, that she's been much impressed By everything she's heard from me (Oh, really?) And would I like to date her? And I'll reply, "Haha, you'll like Melissa, I'll introduce the two of you later" Then, leaving the girls to talk amongst one another I'll advance To a clear space in the lobby and stop a while to dance Only to interrupted by Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen (Hi guys) Both seeking autographs And some fool yells, "Hey look, it's John Lennon" (Yeah, I get a lot of that) Later I'll rush to my seat without a lot of slack to take up Since I cornered Brian Warner for half an hour to swap makeup hints ....performer ....draw They like to have it front and center I'll eschew the teleprompter's canned and corny played trite shit To flirt with my co-presenter and the audience warmly, displaying my speed of light wit And everyone will like it I'll be the darling of every tabloid Since they saw me through the libel case I was hit with from Bad Boy I'll make the worst dressed pages still, but I won't let it get to me I'll just console myself with yet another cosmetic tonsillectomy Heh, body modifications, you bet your life, now listen here Talk about liposuction, I swear to God I'll damn near dissapear Callista Flockheart and Fiona Apple will express concern for my health But we'll talk, and they'll both agree I've got to...um...learn for myself Understand, this'll be the Planet Rock I'll have to drag myself to the top of the heap the hard way And I'll finally get to see my own production of Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway Shebang expansion figures, lunchboxes and animated feature length biography And internationally franchised Jesse's Own pizza chain And odessy(?) and celebrities stand up to me(?) Bumblebees will make honey just for me Until its, uh, hard to be humble I can't wait for this to come about I'm ready when the world is Take me now I'm ready God, I wanna be a star FAME I wanna be a star
