Please Don't Ask Me Why (April 2005)

I want to be a Hula Dancer
On the white Hawaiian sand,
I want to be a rock star
In a hugely famous band.
I want to be an airhostess
Flying through the sky,
I just no longer want to be me
And please don’t ask me why.

I want to be an astronaut
Living with the stars,
Living on the moon somewhere
And eventually on Mars.
I want to be a beautiful bird
So that I then could fly,
Just get me out of this dang body
And please don’t ask me why.

I want to be Lance Armstrong
Racing on my bike,
I want to be a wild animal
And do just what I like.
I want to be an actress
Where on cue I laugh or cry,
Please let me be someone else
And please don’t ask me why.

I want to be up on a cloud
Where I can be alone,
I want to buy a house somewhere,
A place to call my own.
When I seem distant,
eyes are far
Quietly pass me by,
As I am not myself right now
And please don’t ask me why
