I wish I was a neutron bomb, for o nce I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the s tar that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the g rounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the s ky
I wish I was a sailor with some one who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood
Instrumental :
I wish I was an alien at home behind the s un
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house k ey on
I wish I was the pedal brake that y ou depended o n
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you d own
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
