lyrics

I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain
I wanna be that tragic story we glorify everyday
I wanna play the most dangerous game
I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain

I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain
Janis and Jim Hendrix and the King and all those names
I wanna be among the greats
It's better to burn out than fade away

I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain
I want my songs to mean more than what I say
Give up this life for fortune and fame
I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain

I wanna keep making mistakes and find who to blame
Elliott Smith, Buckley's a myth and Morrison's strange
I wanna be just as insane
Or maybe just left out in pouring rain

I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain
I wanna hate myself and write down my pain
I wanna play on the grandest stage
Or maybe just left out in pouring rain

I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain
I want my songs to mean more than what I say
Give up this life for fortune and fame
I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain

There's five leaves left on the fruit tree
Do you miss me
Miss misery

I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain
I want my songs to mean more than what I say
Give up this life for fortune and fame
I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain
It's better to burn out than fade away
I wanna be John Lennon or Kurt Cobain

The album title comes from a Bible verse. After the women at the well encountered Jesus, her life changed forever and she went and told everyone, "Come and see a man who told me all that I ever did." ... more
