The devil's in the dreamin'<br>He tells you I'm not sleepin'<br>In my hotel room alone<br><br>With nothing to believe in<br>You dive into the traffic rising up<br>And it's so quiet<br>You're surprised and then you wake<br><br>For all the things you're losing<br>You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change<br>And I'm going down to hollywood<br>They're gonna make a movie from the things<br>That they find crawling round my brain<br><br>I wish I was a girl<br>So that you could believe me<br>And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep<br>I wish for all the world<br>That I could say<br>Hey, elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right<br>These days<br><br>The devil's in the dreamin'<br>You see yourself descending<br>From the building to the ground<br><br>And you watch the sky receding<br>And you spin to see the traffic<br>Rising up and it's so quiet<br>And you're surprised and then you wake<br><br>For all the things I'm losing<br>I might as well resign myself to try and make a change<br>And I'm going down to hollywood<br>They're gonna make a movie from the things<br>That they find crawling round my brain<br><br>I wish I was a girl<br>So that you could believe me<br>And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep<br>I wish for all the world<br>That I could say, hey, elizabeth,<br>You know I'm doing all right these days<br><br>And one of these dreams<br>You forgive me<br>It makes me think of the bad decisions<br>That keep you at home<br>How could anyone else have changed<br>But these are wrong conclusions<br>That leave you alone<br>How could everyone rearrange<br>How could everyone else have changed<br>What I see<br>I believe<br><br>For all the things I'm losing<br>I might as well resign myself to try and make a change<br>And I'm going down to hollywood<br>They're gonna make a movie from the things<br>That they find crawling round my brain<br><br>I wish I was a girl<br>So that you could believe me<br>And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep<br>I wish for all the world<br>That I could say, hey, elizabeth,<br>You know I'm doing all right these days<br><br>Well I can't sleep at night [repeated]
