Song lyrics

She plays wipeout on the drums
The squirrels and the birds come
Gather around to sing the guitar.
Oh I...have you got nothing to say?

When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
So the roses can see
Oh I...have you got nothing to say?

And you can see the daisies
In her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate

Everyday she wears the same thing
I think she smokes pot.
She's everything I want,
She's everything I'm not
Oh. I...
Have you got nothing to say?

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks and she breathes
I wanna be Kate

Down by Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the Bhagavad-Gita.
I see her around every couple days
I wanna see her so that
I can say... "Hey Kate!"

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
Oh oh...You can see
I wanna wanna wanna wanna be
Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate
No, no, no, no, no


Kate

She plays wipeout on the drums
The squirrels and the birds come
Gather around to sing the guitar
Oh I... (Have you got nothing to say?)

When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tapes are masterpiece
Walks through the garden so the roses can see
Oh I... (Have you got nothing to say?)

And you can see the daisies in her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate

Everyday she wears the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I want,
She's everything I'm not
Oh I... (Have you got nothing to say?)

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks and she breathes
I wanna be Kate

Down by the Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the Bhagavad Gita
I see her ‘round every couple of days
I wanna meet her so that I can say hey
Kate

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
You can see
I wanna wanna wanna be Kate
