I wish I could be me
You wish you could be you

I wish I could forgive my mother
You wish you could share my crazy sex life

I wish I could be me
You wish you could be you

I wish I could be my twin brother
You wish you could fuck your parents

Take a chance, it's just a dance
A dance
Have a drink, everything's pink up here, here

I wish I could be someone else
You wish you could be a boy for a day

I wish I could release my anxiety
You wish you could understand my tensions

I wish I could listen to jazz
You wish you could read all Burroughs

I wish I could meet my heroes
You wish you could write sad songs

Take a chance, it's just a dance
A dance
Have a drink, everything's pink up here, here

I wish I could stop taking drugs
You wish you could have sex with me

I wish you could be me
You wish you could suck my dangerous dreams

I wish I could dance all night
You wish you could accept your destiny

I wish you could live without me
You wish you could lick my heart and soul

Take a chance, it's just a dance
A dance
Have a drink, everything's pink up here, here

I wish I could listen to Coltrane all day
You wish I could share your boring dreams

I wish I could be no one
You wish I could be your boyfriend

I wish I could leave this awful mess
You wish I could swallow your fucking fears

I wish I could leave Paris
You wish I could be stuck with you forever here

Take a chance, it's just a dance
A dance
Have a drink, everything's pink up here, here
