Well, I never thought of myself as a subtle kind of man
I dreamed I was alive one time before the world began
And every time I walked the street my troubles dragged my heels
Well, I could not pretend that I wasn't lost in how it feels
I'm gonna be your Elvis
I'm gonna be your Steve McQueen
I was dead long before I was born, my mother did proclaim
Send him back to Jesus, tell him I was not to blame
Well, well, well, tell me how could I refuse?
When every angel left in heaven bet that I would lose
The sound of frozen bells and horns was all that I could hear
And every word that I ignored was ringing in my ear
I could not pretend that I was even half amused
But all they ever told me left me shaken and confused
Well, I'm gonna be your Elvis
I'm gonna be your Steve McQueen
I'm gonna be the man you could not dream
ย
Well, I shaked, I rattled, then I rolled till no one knew my name
Ther future came and went so fast and I almost did the same
I slept a guilty sleep for seven years, I was a ghost
Of everyone I ever loved, I loved myself the most
When everyone was breaking up I was breaking down
I kept myself amused in high-heeled shoes and sequined gowns
Those voices on the radio they all just made me numb
So I covered up my ears with bandages and bubble gum
And I bolted up the windows and I denied that I was me
I sold my brains to science and my soul for security
Now I'm a walking shadow of the fool I used to be
I heard they held my funeral and there was no one there but me
I'm gonna be your Elvis
I'm gonna be your Steve McQueen
I'm gonna be your terrorist
I'm gonna be your Steve McQueen
I'm gonna be the man you could not dream
The man you could not dream
The man you could not dream
The man you could not dream
The man you could not dream
