The devil's in the dreamingHe tells you I'm not sleeping in my hotel room aloneWith nothing to believe inYou dive into the traffic rising upAnd it's so quietYou're surprisedAnd then you wakeFor all the things you're losingYou might as well resign yourself to try and make a changeI'm going down to HollywoodThey're gonna make a movie from the things that they findcrawling round my brainI wish I was a girl so that you could believe meAnd I could shake this static everytime I try to sleepI wish for all the world that I could say,"Hey Elizabeth, you know, I'm doing alright these days."The devil's in the dreamingYou see yourself descending from a building to the groundYou watch the sky recedingYou spin to see the traffic rising upAnd it's so quietYou're surprisedAnd then you wakeFor all the things I'm losingI might as well resign myself to try and make a changeBut I'm going down to HollywoodThey're gonna make a movie from the things that they findcrawling round my brainI wish I was a girl so that you could believe meAnd I could shake this static every time I try to sleepI 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 meIt makes me think of the bad decisions that keep you at homeHow could anyone else have changed?Alll these wrong conclusions that leave you aloneHow could everyone rearrange?How could everyone else have changed?What I see I believeFor all the things I'm losingI might as well resign myself to try and make a changeWell, I'm going down to HollywoodThey're gonna make a movie from the things that they findcrawling around my brainI wish I was a girl so that you could believe meAnd I could shake this static everytime I try to sleepI 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
