I’m tired of California. I’m sick of these friends.
I wish they’d drown in the ocean waves. I wish that you were my friend.
I wish the earth was flat, you know, I wish it had an edge, someplace to go.
Some space to just fall into & not come back
My life’s a joke. My life’s a joke. I don’t know what to do.
I looked around the world for something to wish for & decided to wish for you.
I’m dumb but I don’t see why I gotta be naked to win your heart.
I used to think a friend was a kind of lover and manfriend you broke my heart.
People, let me ask you straight, in case you know the way.
I’m looking for the stairway to heaven. I want to be on my way.
I’ll give my heart to God & then he’ll tell me what to do.
Nobody wants my heart down here- world I’m talking to you.
Nobody wants my love. Unless it comes with a screw.
It dont seem fair that me I gotta be naked to win your heart.
I’m cold blooded, babe; I need these clothes.
I’ll never win your heart.
I’m gonna get real skinny. I’m gonna grow long legs.
I’m gonna climb them steps two by two;
I’m gonna disappear into the blue.
If you ever think to look for me, I’ll be a ghost, a dream, a memory.
But if you’re out at night & search the sky
for a tiny sliver of moon,
that’s me up there climbing them stairs, thats me leaving you.
Can’t say for sure I ever even wanted you,
it might have just been something to do.
Guess I thought you were somebody who would maybe recognize my heart.
Thought you could love me like Jesus loves me, but man friend you broke my heart.
I’ll leave behind a night so black, you could make love in the streets.
Go ahead and make love, my friend, to the very first girl you meet.
I’ll watch them sparks a flying as I glance down from them stairs,
a handful of fireflies on the cold black sheet of hell.
But this time I can wish you well, no jealousy, no raising hell.
When I find that stairway, I can wish you well.
