i'd be you

coffee lights my emptiness

it's self-inflicted pain i guess

in this room my dreams are dreamt

i can't remember where they went

in a magazine up on a rack

is where i'd live in white and black

if i could walk these streets unseen

if i could have one little thing

i'd be you

i'd be you

confiscate my liberty

i'm not worth a damn to me

i want to have my name in lights

i want to party through the night like you

in a penthouse suite of a grand hotel

with jacuzzis

champagne and waiter bells

camera men and limousines

if i could have one little thing

i'd be you

i'd be you

if i was you

if you were me

if i was you

i'd be happy

cigarettes and irony

i want to be a star

loneliness won't validate

i can't take it anymore

if i could have one little thing

i'd switch my life with yours

if i could roll the dice again

i'd change the way they fall

i'd be you

i'd be you
