Is that all America?

Bad television, living in denial, I know

[00:25.55]'Cause I don't wanna know[00:28.54]Wanna run, wanna fly

[00:25.55]'Cause I don't wanna know[00:28.54]Wanna run, wanna fly

Let my illusions take me through the night

[00:37.54]It's alright, wanna be the light[00:42.98]I was born in a cardboard box

[00:37.54]It's alright, wanna be the light[00:42.98]I was born in a cardboard box

New York City, 1963

Poetry readings and bohemians

Now inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud

[01:00.86]I can hear you sing like an angel[01:10.77]Merilee, Merilee, she takes forever

[01:00.86]I can hear you sing like an angel[01:10.77]Merilee, Merilee, she takes forever

But she's always laughing, laughing about anything

I could be so happy

[01:28.59]As long as my friends are hangin' around me[01:39.36]Are we all fast food and no introspection?

[01:28.59]As long as my friends are hangin' around me[01:39.36]Are we all fast food and no introspection?

All done with mirrors, but no real reflection

I wanna live in my own little world

Where inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud

[01:56.89]I can hear you sing like an angel[03:31.44][02:07.10]Naivete'...this world is lost on me

[01:56.89]I can hear you sing like an angel[03:31.44][02:07.10]Naivete'...this world is lost on me

[03:45.19][02:20.90]Naivete'...I don't wanna know anyway[03:03.38]I always pictured my life this way

[03:45.19][02:20.90]Naivete'...I don't wanna know anyway[03:03.38]I always pictured my life this way

As two women order their chardonnay

Sitting alone in some dirty cafe

Where inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud

[01:56.89]I can hear you sing like an angel[03:31.44][02:07.10]Naivete'...this world is lost on me

[03:45.19][02:20.90]Naivete'...I don't wanna know anyway[03:03.38]I always pictured my life this way
