Songtext Somebody special Big Fish

Somebody special

She's got a photograph of David BowieIn a Victorian hand-made frame
Signed backstage by a roadie in his nameShe's got Hemingway in her bedside table
And a pistol under a pillow beside her head
The bullets round her neck
She wants to wear suits A cocktail waitress smokes Gauloises BlondesShe's been taking tips from tables for too long
She drinks frozen StolichnayaShe likes powders from PeruShe don't like no one to tell her what to do ChorusShe wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, Somebody special
She wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, Somebody special
She wants to wear suits She's got a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
She likes Japanese movies, she likes Chinese foodShe's got handmade patent leather shoes riding on her feet
She knows the lifestyle that she wants and she's willing to compete ChorusShe wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, Somebody special
She wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, Somebody special
She wants to wear suits She put her mind to the classroom but outside
She learned more from giving head
She gave her innocence to someone that she once considered a close friend
She gave her hand to the quarterback on loan to the local football team
He gave his world as security, his heart as deposit on the dream
But, she wants to wear suits ChorusShe wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, Somebody special
She wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, Somebody special
She wants to wear suits She's got a wedding ringThat's Cartier as far as you can tell
She threw it down the local wishing wellShe'd lost it in the kitchen sink
Or in a desert motel room
The insurance claim just couldn't come too soon She wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, Somebody special
She wants to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody, Somebody specialShe's somebody special
Do you want to be somebody special?
Could you be somebody special'Somebody special?
