Naivete' Lyrics - Vonda Shepard

Is that all America? 

Bad television, living in denial, I know 

'Cause I don't wanna know 

Wanna run, wanna fly 

Let my illusions take me through the night 

It's alright, wanna be the light 

I was born in a cardboard box, New York City, 1963 

Poetry readings and bohemians 

Now inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud 

I can hear you sing like an angel 

Merilee, Merilee, she takes forever 

But she's always laughing, laughing about anything 

I could be so happy 

As long as my friends are hangin' around me, around me 

Are we all fast food and no introspection? 

All done with mirrors, but no real reflection 

I wanna live in my own little world 

Where inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud 

I can hear you sing like an angel 

Naivete', this world is lost on me 

Naivete', I don't wanna know anyway 

Hangin' all around 

Hangin' all around 

Hangin' all around 

Hangin' all 

I always pictured my life this way 

As two women order their Chardonnay 

Sitting alone in some dirty cafe 

Where inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud 

I can hear you sing like an angel 

Naivete', this world is lost on me 

Naivete', I don't wanna know anyway
