Lyrics
0:18You're a spaceman in Tulsa
0:21So you cover it up in clown white
0:25All these elegant boys make such delicate toys
0:28And they know it
0:31He says "I know you wanna believe in something
0:35But if you could just see all of the people in me"
0:39Then the shadows descend from his eyes to his hands
0:43Down to his naked all-American knees
0:47Doesn't anybody wanna be a rock and roll queen?
0:50Dress yourself up in a diamond tiara
0:54Swishy little rake he says "Man I'm gonna make 'em insane"
0:58I'm a painkiller and I'm a caterpillar
1:02They can't break you man
1:03Yeah they can't break you apart
1:05Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town
1:09Turning into a ************* rock and roll star
1:20Ally says she's one in a million
1:23Other people tend to agree
1:26From her fishnet luck to her platform Chucks
1:30She's a fading Miss American dream
1:34But her daddy couldn't keep his distance
1:37She says "You can't keep him away if you try"
1:41The saddest mistakes are the ones that we make
1:44Wishing away what's right in front of our eyes
1:48Doesn't anybody wanna be a rock and roll queen?
1:52Leave 'em laughing when you wanna die
1:56Crazy little dreamer says "Man I can't believe I'm still alive"
2:00I'm a painkiller and I'm a caterpillar
2:03They can't break you man
2:05Yeah they can't break you apart
2:06Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town
2:11Turning into a ************* rock and roll star
2:21Bobby he's such a rock and roller
2:24Says "Everybody's somebody I used to know
2:28Man I was the toast of the town
2:31Back when everyone knew where to go
2:35I was a spaceman in Tulsa
2:39But if you could see behind my eyes
2:42I'm just an empty smile
2:44And a song I don't even know that I'm singing"
2:50Doesn't anybody wanna be a rock and roll queen?
2:53Light your rocket and burn right out of town
2:57Crazy little ****** says "Man I guess I'll see you around"
3:01And I'm a painkiller super fly caterpillar
3:05They can't break you man
3:06Yeah they can't break you apart
3:08Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town
3:12Turning into a ************* rock and roll star
3:16I'm a painkiller yeah yeah yeah yeah
3:20Well I'm a ************* rock and roll star
3:23I'm a painkiller and I'm a caterpillar
3:26I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm a ************* rock and roll star
3:32Yeah yeah
3:35I'm a ************* rock and roll star
3:39Yeah yeah
3:41I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm a ************* rock and roll star
