I Wish I Was a Girl

The devil's in the dreaming He tells you I'm not sleeping in my hotel 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 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 alright these days" The devil's in the dreaming You see yourself descending from a building to the ground You watch the sky receding You spin to see the traffic rising up, and it's so quiet 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 But 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 alright these days" In 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? These 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 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 alright these days" But I can't sleep at night I can't sleep at night I can't sleep at night But I can't sleep at night
