The devil's in the dreamin'.
He tells you I'm not sleepin'
In my hotel room alone
With nothing to believe in.
You dive into the traffic rising up,
And it's so quiet.
You're surprised, and then you wake.
For all the things you're losing.
You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change.
And I'm going down to Hollywood.
They're gonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain.
I wish I was a girl
So that you could believe me
And I could shake this static every time
I try to sleep
I wish for all the world
That I could say
"Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right
These days."
The devil's in the dreamin'.
You see yourself descending
For all the things you're losing.
You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change.
And I'm going down to Hollywood.
They're gonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain.
I wish I was a girl
So that you could believe me
And I could shake this static every time
I try to sleep
I wish for all the world
That I could say
"Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right
These days."
And one of these dreams
You forgive me.
It makes me think of the bad decisions
That keep you at home.
How could anyone else have changed,
But these are wrong conclusions
That leave you alone.
How could everyone rearrange?
How could everyone else have changed?
What I see I believe.
For all the things I'm losing
I might as well resign myself to try and make a change.
And I'm going down to Hollywood.
They're gonna make a movie from the things
That they find crawling round my brain.
I wish I was a girl
So that you could believe me
And I could shake this static every time
I try to sleep
I wish for all the world
That I could say
"Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right
These days."
Well I can't sleep at night.
Well I can't sleep at night.
Well I can't sleep at night.
Well I can't sleep at night.
