[Intro]
I want a world where I get to see what all doomed lovers saw
I want a world where love and brains and beauty are the only law
[Chorus]
And there's I girl I met named Amy Rose
And I never said it, but I guess she knows
That I just want to be her friend and do something illegal
With Amy Rose Spiegel
[Verse]
We wouldn't be rape-y or murder-y, just auto theft-y or arson-y
I'd even settle for a wild romantic act of harmless, petty larceny
We could sow a swath of anarchy from Maine to Amarillo
Or just go bowling in our street shoes and tear the tags off of a pillow
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a girl I met named Amy Rose
And I never said it, but I guess she knows
That I just want to be her friend and do something illegal
With Amy Rose Spiegel
[Verse]
She'd love that I'm so obsolete, she'd love that I'm so obscure
And she's so free and I'm just me and we'd rock culture to its core
We'd go Bonnie and Clyde-style and we'd go crashing-and-burn style
Or at least I can be her lookout if she needs to jump the turnstyle
We could rob banks hand in hand, then skip the Mexican border
Or at least pay for a sandwich, slipping in a Canadian quarter
She'd text poetic esoterics and know I understood it
I'd say, "Next, let's shoplift topless," she'd say, "No, 'cuz were'd we put it?"
[Chorus]
There's this girl a met named Amy Rose
And I never said it but I bet she knows
That I just want to be her friend and do something illegal
With Amy Rose Spiegel
[Verse]
She's so revolutionary, literate, and bright
And I'm a darkness and old piece of shit but I'm basically alright
We'll roll the dice on daring heists and share a life of crime
Or pay for one bottomless cup of coffee and share it two ways at the diner
We'll seize two mid-life crises and get middle-aged medieval
'Cuz I just wanna do something everybody knows would be illegal
With Amy Rose Spiegel
I want a world where I get to see what all doomed lovers saw
I want a world where love and brains and beauty are the only law
I want a world in which the sad and free are poetry together
With broken laws, a hopeless cause, and cool best friends forever
'Cause there was a girl he met named Amy Rose
And it had no promise, I suppose
But something in her eyes had some bad influence on him
And all that certain women and certain guys can do is something criminal
