 Caterpillar crawling up  the big phone pole
 Is there somebody that you want to talk  to
 You know that pretty soon,  you'll be able to fly
 How is this going to affect you
  Do you think it might wreck  you
  Your friends might reject  you
  You say you took it too far
  Said you  want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...
 Put down glossy pictures and drugs  I've never seen
 We'll treat you with advice from a fashion  magazine
 And one day she just walked into  that magazine
 I wonder if she'll ever come back
  They all said she would  crack
  They said her mind was one-track
  They said she took it too far
  Said you want  to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...
 Every time you move your lips
 Well, let me give you a few tips
 Yesterday you were too young
 Tomorrow you will be too old
  To regret all the things you've done
  Who you trying to hustle
  Somebody want to show your muscle
  Second hand excuses  never went too far
  What's this scene you're making
  Your ideas have been taken
  We'll seek when you awaken
  Alone in someone's car
  You just stood there shaking
  You stood there shaking
  They said you were faking
  Said you want  to be, want to be, want to be, want to be
  Closer to  the stars.
