lyrics

I want to be pretty some day,
Stunning or priceless, the elders would say,
I want to own your heart's best, in my mother's sheer dress,
No where to run, no pain to forget,

Some day I want to escape,
To a city built on passionate rage,
The streets will look lovely in May,
All cobblestoned and elegant shame,
All cobblestoned and elegant shame,

You wish on a bed of clouds in the sky,
Because the stars have been hidden in ice,
Cold winds bring in hail, the rain washes it away,
The roofs are ratted, but we all stay the same,

Some day I want to escape,
To a city built on passionate rage,
The streets will look lovely in May,
All cobblestoned and elegant shame,
All cobblestoned and elegant shame,
All cobblestoned, ah, ah, oh,
All cobblestoned, ah, ah, oh,

I'll buy lipstick and perfume,
I'll wear it to please you,
But I'm a mousey girl and you're Kelso's saint,
I'll bloom from the wall, as we dance through the hall,
I'll miss all the steps and you'll look dirty as you seep away,
From me,

Some day I want to escape,
To a city built on passionate rage,
The streets will look lovely in May,
All cobblestoned and elegant shame,
All cobblestoned and elegant shame,
All cobblestoned,
All cobblestoned, ah, ah, oh,
