I just wanted to be one of The Strokes
And I still wanna
Please excuse me if I'm too rude
But one day my dream will come true
I imagine your eyes
When you'll hear our mutual song
With The Strokes
So everyone will realize
"That guy wasn't a joke"

(I wanna)
Stand on a stage and sing this song
To thousands of men
(I wanna)
Get the gig, drive away, I'm sick
With you round my neck
The most
Expensive hotel with tranquility base
Would be ours for a night
I wanna
Be more than people are
I wanna be more than people want to

I was dreaming to be famous
Since I was a little boy
"You'll outgrow it," said my parents
But I didn't and I won't
And I want every girl I meet
To fall in love with me
So you'd see what did ya miss
(What did ya miss)
In 1996

(I wanna)
Stand on a stage and sing this song
To thousands of men
(I wanna)
Get the gig, drive away, I'm sick
With you round my neck
The most
Expensive hotel with tranquility base
Would be ours for a night
I wanna
Be more than people are
I wanna be more than people want to

You and I in a glamorous gig
Under sky and the wind in the hair
Come with me, darling, and we will be
Rich and happy and famous someday
I don't see for the road kissing thee
I don't see and you know I don't care
Come with me, darling, and we will be
Rich and happy and famous someday

You and I in a glamorous gig
Under sky and the wind in the hair
Come with me, darling, and we will be
Rich and happy and famous someday
I don't see for the road kissing thee
I don't see and you know I don't care
Come with me, darling, and we will be

I wanna
Stand on a stage and sing this song
To thousands of men
I wanna
Get the gig, drive away, I'm sick
With you round my neck
The most
Expensive hotel with tranquility base
Would be ours for a night
I wanna
Be more than people are
I wanna be more than people want to

(I wanna)
Stand on a stage and sing this song
To thousands of men
(I wanna)
Get the gig, drive away, I'm sick
With you round my neck
Hotel with tranquility base
Would be ours for a night
I wanna
Be more than people are
I wanna be more than people are
