You can close your eyes and tell me that you are a visionary and maybe you're a little scary but you take my breath away When you say you'll always be there it paints such a lovely picture but no matter how you frame it it's still pornography
Nobody seems to hear till I scream and shout Even if you tie me down and you blow my candle out
I'll still glow I'll still glow I'll be the perfect someone that you'll never know I'll still glow
I see this girl with so much anger pacified by holding strangers making peace with all her danger by looking in the mirror The pureness in my name is gone now You've taken it too far but somehow I'll lick my wounds and take the last bow and hold my cold left hand
There's so many things That you rant about The only thing I know for sure If you blow my candle out
I'll still glow I'll still glow I'll be the perfect someone that you'll never know I'll still glow
( guitar solo)
I'll still glow I'll still glow I'll be the perfect someone that you'll- that you'll never know
I'll still glow I'll still glow I'll be the perfect someone that you'll never know I'll still glow
I wanna live before I die so don't say I have to cry on one more freezing floor I ask you to open the door and see how things could've gone the reason that it took so long before you could figure out that for so long i was about to break and there were no arms to keep me from harming me and now I'm searching back to see how I never tried to ask for some sympathy cuz no nobody wants to ride with me too far cuz I might trip away but in your arms I'd rather stay
Chorus: You might just turn into something I like You might just turn into something I like You might just turn into something I la...(19 x's) You might just turn into something I
want to dream about something I can't live without my foot is in your head I want you to understand how I could be confused right after being used but still your here in spite when I close my eyes to dream at night I gotta keep my pants on I gotta check my pulse before I've gone too far away to hurt so I think I'll stay around to hear you breathe sayin all those words to me unraveling my fantasy while I drink my oleander tea
Chorus: You might just turn into something I like You might just turn into something I like You might just turn into something I la...(19 x's) You might just turn into something I like Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You might just turn into something I like You might just turn into something I like You might just turn into something I
They've clipped my wings again tore them apart and then left me No use to fly away to my yesterday of freedom My eyes died back that day seeing the hurt I may have done Beat me instead of them pain is my only zen of fun
I'll go where secrets are sold where roses unfold I'll sleep as time goes by
So hurting here is where I belong dreaming a song blood on my hands to stay strong The flowers in the graveyard are all gone I don't belong there is no right to heal the wrong soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die I can't throw up don't think i even want to try
You still can't make me cry you've pinned this butterfly down My fire's burning out kill my flame without a frown And starving hurts the soul when you're hungry for some love So if I close my eyes I can really fly above and..
I'll go where secrets are sold where roses unfold I'll sleep as time goes by
So hurting here is where I belong dreaming a song blood on my hands to stay strong the flowers in the graveyard are all gone I don't belong there is no right to heal the wrong soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die I can't throw up don't think I even want to tryyy- tryyyy- tryyyyyy
Out of bed at the crack of noon Blare the music and have a swoon I can't stop thinking of your face La la lee la lee loo lace I'm six feet under the Bhodi tree With my crap new-age philosophy Diamonds where there once were stars I'm sitting in Jayne Mansfield's car
Yeah yeah I'm independence Yeah yeah I'm borderline Yeah yeah I'm California My minds all screwed and upside down But my hearts on overdrive Yeah my hearts on overdrive
I need to take a shower when I look at you You sting and hurt like a bad tattoo I wish you'd change my point of view I cruise the canyon to get some breeze With hidden treasures up my sleeve I like the light and hate the heat But I'll lick the blood right off your street
Yeah yeah I'm cherry cola Yeah yeah I'm Candy-eyed Yeah yeah I'm California My minds all screwed and upside down But my hearts on overdrive
They all come here to find a scene But end up girls on Methedrine Naked on a TV screen The dreams that fall beneath my feet Make my footsteps feel so sweet But your kisses are my fait accompli
Yeah yeah I'm independance Yeah yeah I'm borderline Yeah yeah I'm California My minds all screwed and upside down But my hearts on overdrive Yeah my hearts on overdrive
I keep on looking through the looking glass And I wanna fall on through Out of the real world to a happy day Out of the wreckage that I do
I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close I keep on trippin because its free to a place I only know I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close I keep on slippin out of this life
Still my hand won't go to the other side My boney fingers stay locked here The glass is cold when I touch my face But I can taste my salty tears
I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close I keep on trippin because its free to a place I only know I keep on dreamin because I can even though my eyes don't close I keep on slippin out of this life waiting for the drapes to close
Mirror mirror, won't you kiss my cheek And tell me I'll be okay And warm my spirit with your sugar lips And help me wait for another day
They've clipped my wings again tore them apart and then left me No use to fly away to my yesterday of freedom My eyes died back that day seeing the hurt I may have done Beat me instead of them pain is my only zen of fun
I'll go where secrets are sold where roses unfold I'll sleep as time goes by

Oh I don't need an education, Just a microphone's intoxication, And I can't deal with concentration, Give me tounges and stimulation, Who are you to know my story, Who are you to read my book,
I don't think you know how crazy, People say I am, "You're running in the deep end, Katy, Why don't you give a damn?",
I've lost all sense of navigation, But got my Cali-fornication, Don't give me words of hard degration, I only accept infatuations, I'm a fragile kind of glass, I won't wear your stupid mask,
I don't think you know how crazy, People say I am, "Your running in the deep end, Katy, Why don't you give a damn?",
I still hold hands with my creation, But cross my eyes at it's elation, And if I miss my graduation, I'll have one fucking long vacation.
Out of bed at the crack of noon Blare the music and have a swoon I can't stop thinking of your face La la lee la lee loo lace I'm six feet under the Bhodi tree With my crap new-age philosophy Diamonds where there once were stars I'm sitting in Jayne Mansfield's car
Yeah yeah I'm independence Yeah yeah I'm borderline Yeah yeah I'm California My minds all screwed and upside down But my hearts on overdrive Yeah my hearts on overdrive

I only wish for snow to fall On the palm trees in the dirt But here the sun will always shine (It'll always shine) Even if with the clouds it flirts
For Shngri-LA is always dry It doesn't cry like me In Hell-LA the sun is always there ( it's always there) Scalding the deep green sea
I'll never be a snowflake And waltz to earth so gently To form a perfect blanket For someone else to walk on
I've lost my mind in wanderlust
My heart cannot be found My body yearns for the warmth of snow But the sun keep pouring down These streets have signs that point somewhere But there I don't belong And there's no more use To curl your hair When your innocence is gone
I only wish for snow to fall On the palm trees in the dirt But here the sun will always shine (always shine) Even if with clouds it flirts
I wonder why it always feels like rain My life is like some cheap champagne The answers don't always seem to fit My glass is full, but it tastes like shit
I need a quick decision and a cheap reward I'm in my last revision hey- hey-hey-hey
So I'll cry just a little bit longer and I'll stay two seconds more and I'll try to be stronger and I'll see if you catch my fall
I can't say if what I did was wronge still you followed me like a sing-along I can't tell if what I did was right but you let me go like your sister's kite
I need a quick decision and a cheap reward I'm in my last revision hey-hey-hey-hey
So I'll cry just a little bit longer and I'll stay two seconds more and I'll try to be stronger and I'll see if you catch my fall
I've made my last decision and got some cheap reward I need no man's premision
So I'll cry just a little bit longer and I'll stay two seconds more and I'll try to be stronger and I'll see if you catch my fall if you catch my fall catch my fall ya catch my fall fall
I wish there was a photograph that showed me here with you, And I could kiss the photograph and make my wish come true, I wish I was a humming dove so I could sing so sweet, I wish that I could steal the moon and kiss it with my feet, I wish I was a remedy that you wanted to take, A product of a recipe that no one had to bake, I wish I could forget that day the hurting in my heart, And wash our mouths with listerine to make a brand new start.
Watchin the rain fall down, Watchin the rain, Watchin the rain, Watchin the rain fall down, Watchin the rain, Watchin the rain fall down.
I wish there was a fairy tale that turned into my life, And I could kiss Prince Charming man be his princess wife, I wish the voices in my head would leave my ears alone, So my eyes could stop their water bleeding and I could find a home, I wish there was a ruby rose where I spread my wings and flew, So I could inhale the perfume and be the morning dew, I wish the raindrops on the glass would let me join their dance, I'd spin and twirl and laugh with them and drown my thought perchance.
Watchin the rain fall down, Watchin the rain, Watchin the rain, Watchin the rain fall down, Watchin the rain, Watchin the rain fall down.
Woa woa, I kinda like it, Woa woa, Woa woa, I kinda like it this way. Watchin the rain, Watchin the rain,
Watchin the rain fall down, Watchin the rain, Watchin the rain, Watchin the rain fall down, Watchin the rain, Watchin the rain fall down.

I throw myself into the rain As we run dow nthese old train Tracks again The moon is naked in the sky So maybe you and i could fly Or pretend
As the stars fall from grace And light your glowing face
I'm teaching myself to dream I'm holding my breath to scream I'm teaching myself to Believe in things i don't understand I don't even know if they're true That's what dreamers do
I can't say what day it is or year But thou shalt have no fear For i know your name You can't believe what i did And maybe i'm just a kid But then we're both the same
I watch the hours through the glass And know that time will finally pass
I'm teaching myself to dream I'm learning what love can be I'm teaching myself to Believe in the things i don't understand I don't even know if they're true That's what dreamers do
Stapled eyes can't open until waking And all your lies will be your undertaking
I let my mind dance and flow We'll make magic and i'll know As the lilacs slowly grow All my dreams are true
I'm teaching myself to dream I'm holding my breath to scream I'm teaching myself to Believe in things i don't understand I don't even know if they're true That's what dreamers do That's what dreamers do
