Just when I was only seventeen I was a misfit on the scene Nowhere that I wanted to be When everyone else was having fun I was at home or on the run (The) emptiness would get into me
I wanted to be where the smiles were for real And the crowd looks like in Purple Rain Oooh - me and my furry friends
Now when I got older things have changed Not for the good to my dismay What did ever ruin it for me See all of them fools in clubs and bars Doped by the drone of dorks - they're stars Far away from where I should be
Everyone's clean - smoke- and alcohol-free Purple juice and strawberry shakes You and me and the perfect band Wishing that it was for real - the only place I wanna be
Take me to the Club Bombastic Place of grace - it's so fantastic A miracle-chant - that's the price you have to pay Take me to the Club Bombastic It's the place of sheer pure magic All that I want - somewhere to belong
Now when I'm no longer seventeen I'm still a misfit on the scene No way I could ever be free Why there ain't a place where I could go It's probably there when I'm too old Murphy's always heading for me (But still I want to see)
Nothing to fear - all my friends are for real Music like in memory-lane Oooh - my never-never land Wishing that it was for real - the only place I wanna be
[chorus]
I wanna be where my friends are for real And the crowd looks like in Purple Rain Oooh - me and the perfect band Wishing that it was for real - the only place I wanna be
