Purple Yellow Red and Blue Lyrics

All I wanna do is live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me
I can't help it
It's this hopeless itch
I just wanna feel (wanna feel)
Purple, yellow, red and blue

When I grow up I wanna be
A movie star or on TV
'Cause workin' just don't work for me
But I can't focus, feeling hopeless
So I'll just sit back, try to relieve

All I wanna do is live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me
I can't help it
It's this hopeless itch
I just wanna feel (wanna feel)
Purple, yellow, red and blue

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

All I wanna do is live in ecstasy
I know what's best for me
I can't help it
It's this hopeless itch
I just wanna feel (wanna feel)
Purple, yellow, red and blue

I just wanna be evil
I just wanna be evil
Wanna be evil, wanna be evil
I just wanna be evil

I just wanna be evil
I just wanna be evil
Wanna be evil, wanna be evil
Purple, yellow, red and blue

All that I needed
Is something to believe in
'Cause everything just falls in place like that

All that I needed
Is something to believe in
'Cause everything just falls in place like that
