You're a spaceman in TulsaSo you cover it up in clown whiteAll these elegant boys make such delicate toysAnd they know itHe says, "I know you wanna believe in somethingBut if you could just see all of the people in me"Then the shadows descend from his eyes to his handsDown to his naked all-American kneesDoesn't anybody wanna be a rock and roll queen?Dress yourself up in a diamond tiaraSwishy little rakehe says, "Man, I'm gonna make 'em insane"I'm a painkiller, and I'm a caterpillarThey can't break you, man(Yeah, they can't break you apart)Another well-nigh butterflyfound on a bus out of townTurning into a motherfucking rock and roll starAlly says she's one in a millionOther people tend to agreeFrom her fishnet luck to her platform ChucksShe's a fading Miss American dreamBut her daddy couldn't keep his distanceShe says, "You can't keep him away if you try"The saddest mistakes are the ones that we makeWishing away what's rightin front of our eyesDoesn't anybody wanna be a rock and roll queen?Leave 'em laughing when you wanna dieCrazy little dreamer says"Man, I can't believe I'm still alive"I'm a painkiller, and I'm a caterpillarThey can't break you, man(Yeah, they can't break you apart)Another well-nigh butterflyfound on a bus out of townTurning into a motherfucking rock and roll starBobby, he's such a rock and rollerSays, "Everybody's somebody I used to knowMan, I was the toast of the townBack when everyone knew where to goI was a spaceman in TulsaBut if you could see behind my eyesI'm just an empty smileAnd a song I don't even know that I'm singing"Doesn't anybody wanna be a rock and roll queen?Light your rocket and burn right out of townCrazy little fucker says"Man, I guess I'll see you around"And I'm a painkiller, super fly caterpillarThey can't break you, man(Yeah, they can't break you apart)Another well-nigh butterflyfound on a bus out of townTurning into a motherfucking rock and roll starI'm a painkiller, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahWell, I'm a motherfucking rock and roll starI'm a painkiller, and I'm a caterpillarI'm a motherfucking rock and roll starYeah, yeahI'm a motherfucking rock and roll starYeah, yeahI'm a motherfucking rock and roll star
