Lyrics and translation

Original

Wake up through the night

Five pills, phone call

Call you in the night

I'm just a heart-throbbing rib bone

I wanna be so shapeless, shameless

On your back, go so, so, so, so slow

I wanna do more than just survive

I wanna be somebody tonight

I wanna be somebody

'Cause I'm God's lonely man, oh

I want a blue sky Cadillac

Climb back, back to back

Tanked up, manned up

Smooth talking love doc

But now I'm bound and caged up

Time's up, fists up

The nights go so, so, so slow

I wanna do more than just survive

I wanna be somebody tonight

I wanna be somebody

'Cause I'm God's lonely man, oh

God's lonely man, whoa

I'm God's lonely man

God's lonely man

God's lonely man, whoa

I wanna light my body on fire (yeah!)

I wanna know what is this desire (yeah!)

I wanna feel my body divine (yeah!)

I wanna be somebody tonight (oh, yeah!)

I wanna do more than just survive (yeah!)

I wanna light my body on fire (oh)

I wanna be somebody (yeah!)

'Cause I'm God's lonely man

God's lonely man, oh
