Tu-ru-ru-tu-tu Tu-ru-ru-tu-ru-ru Tu-ru-ru-tu-tu Tu-ru-ru-tu-ru-ru You're a spaceman in Tulsa So you cover it up in clown white All these elegant boys make such delicate toys And they know it He says "I know you wanna believe in something But if you could just see all of the people in me" Then the shadows descend from his eyes to his hands Down to his naked All-American knees Doesn't anybody wanna be a rock n' roll queen? Dress yourself up in a diamond tiara Swishy little rake He says, "Man I'm gonna make 'em insane" I'm a painkiller And I'm a caterpillar They can't break you man (yeah, they can break you apart) Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town Turning into a motherfucking rock n' roll star (tu-ru-ru-tu-ru-ru, tu-ru-ru-tu-tu) Ally says she's one in a million Other people tend to agree From her fishnet luck to her platform Chucks She's a fading Miss American dream But her daddy couldn't keep his distance She says "You can't keep 'em away if you try" The saddest mistakes are the ones that we make Wishing away what's right in front of our eyes Doesn't anybody wanna be a rock n' roll queen? Leave 'em laughing when you wanna die Crazy little dreamer says "Man, I can't believe I'm still alive" I'm a painkiller And I'm a caterpillar They can't break you man (yeah, they can break you apart) Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town Turning into a motherfucking rock n' roll star Bobby, he's such a rock n' roller Says, "Everybody's somebody's I used to know Man, I was the toast of the town Back when everyone knew where to go I was a spaceman in Tulsa But if you could see behind my eyes I'm just an empty smile And a song I don't even know that I'm singing" Doesn't anybody wanna be a rock n' roll queen? Light your rocket and burn right out of town Crazy little fucker says "Man I guess I'll see you around" And I'm a painkiller Superfly caterpillar They can't break you man (yeah, they can break you apart) Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town Turning into a motherfucking rock n' roll star I'm a painkiller, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm a motherfucker rock n' roll star I'm a painkiller And I'm a caterpillar I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm a motherfucker rock n' roll star (tu-ru-ru-tu-tu) yeah, yeah I'm a motherfucker rock n' roll star (tu-ru-ru-tu-tu), yeah, yeah I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm a motherfucker rock n' roll star
