There's a storm cloud in my head
And I try to look my best
But the music's always sad and it's almost always bad
You're on every screen
On the Tube every magazine
And I wanna get out of here if not now then next year
I drove past your road last night I sat by the wall
Where you shared your dreams and I said nothing at all
But I wanna be a dancer: I can't dance
I wanna be an astronaut: No chance
I wanna be the singer in a pop band
And I want you to know me
I wanna be a star on a TV show
Who always saves the day with seconds to go
I wanna be somebody I don't know
I want you to know me
'Cause I want you to know me
I want you to know me
I want you to know me
So what am I gonna do
A boy like me
Who wants to be someone like you
And all that bubble gum ain't sweeter than that
I'm gonna gonna pay off all my debts
With my voice
Right hand and my chest
Hey man hey man
You got to really understand
I smoked on your road last night
I sat by the wall
Where you shared your dreams
And I said nothing at all
But I wanna be a dancer: I can't dance
I wanna be an astronaut: No chance
I wanna be the singer in a pop band
And I want you to know me
I wanna be a star on a TV show
Who always saves the day with seconds to go
And I wanna be somebody I don't know
And I want you to know me
I want you to know me
I want you to know me
I want you to know me
Thought I saw you out last night
But I'm not so sure
Thought I heard you say something but
It's probably nothing at all, at all
But I wanna be a dancer: I can't dance
I wanna be an astronaut: No chance
I wanna be the singer in a pop band
And I want you to know me
I wanna be a star on a TV show
Who always saves the day with seconds to go
I wanna be somebody I don't know
And I want you to know me
