Come unlock the gate
I've been waiting waiting waiting all day
All month all year all time
I'm the perfect one
No amount of cynics can bring me down
I'll stand here til someone comes around
Locked out era
Stuck inside the paradigm
July is creepin up slowly from behind
Did you ever wanna be a big star
Crushed bottles, smokes, with your lil guitar
Did you ever wanna be a big star
Sunglasses dissociated black tar
Something bout not having makes it sweeter
I'm your double vision greeter
Can taste it on the breeze
Some change is gonna come
Standing in the sunlight with the storm clouds coming from above
Today I pray
Tomorrow i will wait
another day
Did you ever wanna be a big star
Crushed bottles, smokes, with your lil guitar
Did you ever wanna be a big star
Sunglasses dissociated black tar
