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
   Say you took it too far
   You said you want to be want to be want to be want to be
  
   Hooked on glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen
   We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine
   One day she just walked into that magazine
   I wonder if she'll ever come back
   And they all said she would crack
   They said her mind was one track,
   Said she took it too far
   You said you want to be want to be want to be want to be
   Closer to the stars
  
   Every time you move your lips
   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're you trying to hustle ?
   Somebody you wanna 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, stood there shaking
   They said you were faking
  
   You said you want to be want to be want to be want to be
   Closer to the stars
   Closer to the stars
