Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole
Is there somebody that you want to talk to
You know that pretty soon, you'll be able to fly
How is this going to affect you
Do you think it might wreck you
Your friends might reject you
You say you took it too far
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be
Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen
We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine
And one day she just walked into that magazine
I wonder if she'll ever come back
They all said she would crack
They said her mind was one-track
They said she took it too far
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be
Every time you move your lips
Well, let me give you a few tips
Yesterday you were too young
Tomorrow you will be too old
To regret all the things you've done
Who you trying to hustle
Somebody want to show your muscle
Second hand excuses never went too far
What's this scene you're making
Your ideas have been taken
We'll seek when you awaken
Alone in someone's car
You just stood there shaking
You stood there shaking
They said you were faking
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be
Closer to the stars.
