Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole
Is there somebody that you want to talk to
CG
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
DC
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
CG
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
DC
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
CG
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
DC
Second hand excuses never went too far
What's this scene you're making
*
Your ideas have been taken
DC
We'll seek when you awaken
Alone in someone's car
You just stood there shaking
*
You stood there shaking
DC
They said you were faking
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be

Closer to the stars.
