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/

And there’s a girl I met named Amy Rose, and I never said it but I guess she knows,/

That I just wanna be her friend and do something illegal with Amy Rose Spiegel/

We wouldn’t be rape-y, or murder-y, just auto-thefty or arson-y/

I’d even settle for a 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 /

Cuz there’s a girl I met named Amy Rose, and I never said but I guess she knows,/

That I just wanna be her friend and do something illegal with Amy Rose Spiegel/

She’d love that I’m so obsolete, she’d love that I’m so obscure/

She’s so free and I’m just me, and we’d rock culture to it’s core/

We’d go Bonnnie & Clyde style, and we’d go crashing and burn style/

Or at least I could be her lookout if she needs to jump a turnstile /

We could rob banks hand in hand, then skip the Mexican border /

Or at least pay for a sandwich by 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 where’d we put it /

There’s this girl I met named Amy Rose, and I never said but I bet she knows,/

That I just wanna be her friend and do something illegal with Amy Rose Spiegel/

She’s so revolutionary, literate and bright /

And I’m a darkness-addled piece of shit but I’m basically all right/

We’ll roll the dice on daring heists, and share a life of crime or /

pay for one bottomless cup coffee & share it two ways at the diner /

We’ll seize two midlife 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 /

cuz 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, an’ all/

That certain women and certain guys can do is something criminal.
