I don't want to be beautiful   No one ever hears her speak   I don't want to be a diplomat   With a heart attack for peace      All that I need is a fire escape   All that I need is a stone   Everything that starts out burning   Ends up overgrown      I don't want to be an astronaut   I've flown higher on my own   I don't want to be a movie star   I don't need to be alone      All that I need is a blunt excuse   All that I need is a ruse   Everything that starts off burning   Ends up feeling used      I don't want to be president   There's some things I'd like to keep   I don't want to be a nightingale   I don't need to feel that cheap      All that I need is an antidote   All that I need is a muse   Everything that starts off burning   Ends up feeling used
