Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All I wanna do is live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me
I can't help it, it's this hopeless age
I just wanna feel (wanna feel)
Purple Yellow Red and Blue
[Verse 2]
When I grow up, I wanna be
A movie star or on TV
'Cause working just don't work for me
But I can't focus, feeling hopeless
So I'll just sit back, try to relieve
[Verse 3]
All I wanna do is live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me
I can't help it, it's this hopeless age
I just wanna feel (wanna feel)
Purple Yellow Red and Blue
[Verse 4]
When I grow up I wanna be
A rich-kid born celebrity
It's not greed, but necessity
Now I don't focus on the hopeless
When I look out it's only for me
[Verse 5]
All I wanna do is live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me
I can't help it, it's this hopeless age
I just wanna feel (wanna feel)
Purple Yellow Red and Blue
[Verse 6]
I just wanna be evil
I just wanna be evil
Wanna be evil, wanna be evil
I just wanna be evil
[Verse 7]
I just wanna be evil
I just wanna be evil
Wanna be evil, wanna be evil
Purple Yellow Red and Blue
[Verse 8]
All that I needed is something to believe in
Because everything just falls in place like that
All that I needed is something to believe in
Because everything just falls in place like that
