Butter miracle, the complete sweets!

2025

Spaceman in tulsa


You're a spaceman in Tulsa
So you cover it up in clown white
All these elegant boys make such delicate toys
And they know it
He says, "I know you wanna believe in something
But if you could just see all of the people in me"
Then the shadows descend from his eyes to his hands
Down to his naked all-
American knees

Doesn't anybody wanna be a rock and roll queen?
Dress yourself up in a diamond tiara
Swishy little rake, he says, "Man, I'm gonna make 'em insane"

I'm a painkiller, and I'm a caterpillar
They can't break you, man (Yeah, they can't break you apart)
Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town
Turning into a motherfucking rock and roll star

Ally says she's one in a million
Other people tend to agree
From her fishnet luck to her platform Chucks
She's a fading Miss American dream
But her daddy couldn't keep his distance
She says, "You can't keep him away if you try"
The saddest mistakes are the ones that we make
Wishing away what's right in front of our eyes

Doesn't anybody wanna be a rock and roll queen?
Leave 'em laughing when you wanna die
Crazy little dreamer says, "Man, I can't believe I'm still alive"

I'm a painkiller, and I'm a caterpillar
They can't break you, man (Yeah, they can't break you apart)
Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town
Turning into a motherfucking rock and roll star

Bobby, he's such a rock and roller
Says, "Everybody's somebody I used to know
Man, I was the toast of the town
Back when everyone knew where to go
I was a spaceman in Tulsa
But if you could see behind my eyes
I'm just an empty smile
And a song I don't even know that I'm singing"

Doesn't anybody wanna be a rock and roll queen?
Light your rocket and burn right out of town
Crazy little fucker says, "Man, I guess I'll see you around"

And I'm a painkiller, super fly caterpillar
They can't break you, man (Yeah, they can't break you apart)
Another well-nigh butterfly found on a bus out of town
Turning into a motherfucking rock and roll star

I'm a painkiller, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, I'm a motherfucking rock and roll star
I'm a painkiller, and I'm a caterpillar
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a motherfucking rock and roll star
Yeah, yeah
I'm a motherfucking rock and roll star
Yeah, yeah
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a motherfucking rock and roll star

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Counting Crows is an American rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1989. Their sound is characterized by catchy melodies, introspective lyrics, and a strong folk-rock influence. After years of performing in clubs, the band signed with Geffen Records in 1993. Their debut album, *August and Everything After*, became an international success thanks to the single «Mr. Jones», achieving multi-platinum status. The success brought intense pressure on frontman Adam Duritz, who suffered a nervous breakdown. This difficult period is reflected in their subsequent album, *Recovering the Satellites* (1996). Over the years, Counting Crows have continued to release successful albums such as *This Desert Life* (2002) and *Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings* (2008), maintaining a loyal following thanks to their authentic music and Duritz's charisma. Some of the band's most representative songs include «Round Here», «A Long December» and «Anna Begins».
