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 'm insane
I'm a painkiller
And I'm a caterpillar
They can't break you man 
Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town
Turning into a motherfucking rock 'n roll star 
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 'm 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 'm 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 
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 
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 
I'm a motherfucker rock 'n roll star 
I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm a motherfucker rock 'n roll star
