Let me tell you, darling, I've been high most of my life
And a dream is just a wish that a heart makes
I used to sell ya, sell ya, sell ya
Only things you could find in a drugstore

People used to tell me, tell me, tell me
Just what kind of high they were looking for
Take a ride on a purple airplane
Honey I don't know when I'll be back again

'Cause I got broken bones
Not from the sticks and stones
But from the names that you call me
I got broken bones
Not from the sticks and stones
But from the names that you call me

Hey you, got the picture? Do you know what I mean?
I'm the fire, baby and you're the gasoline
You like my characteristics? You like my stones?
Call me all the names you say and break my bones

Well, let me tell you, I've been high most of my life
And a dream is just a wish that a heart makes
I used to sell ya, sell ya, sell ya
Only things you could find in a drugstore

People used to tell me, tell me, tell me
Just what kind of high they were looking for
Take a ride on a purple airplane
Honey I don't know when I'll be back again

'Cause I got broken bones
Not from the sticks and stones
But from the names that you call me
I got broken bones
Not from the sticks and stones
But from the names that you call me

Hey you, got the picture? Do you know what I mean?
I'm the fire, baby and you're the gasoline
You like my characteristics? You like my stones?
Call me all the names you say and break my bones

Take a ride on a purple airplane
Honey, I don't know when I'll be back again

Let me tell you, darling, I've been high most of my life
And a dream is just a wish that a heart makes
I used to sell ya, sell ya, sell ya
All the things you could find in a drugstore

People used to tell me, tell me, tell me
Just what kind of high they were looking for
Take a ride on a purple airplane
Honey, I don't know when I'll be back again
