lyrics

Boys My Age (Vaseline Dreams)

Abigail, ginger ale,
there's nothing of a woman about her
quiet and pale, built like a rail
Tarzan could put his hands right around her

I'm young but I've seen what perfection means
silver sights that'd truly astound her
shimmering on the matinee screen
see the lights all flicker around her...

she'll never be the kind of girl for me
the star of all my glamour magazines
some boys my age are into birds or bugs or bikes or taxonomy
but gentlemen prefer their vaseline dreams
(vaseline dreams)

French postcards and leotards
the images of beauty surround you
the soft sateen, what does it mean
when all the glowing bosoms confound you?

there'll never be a girl that's just for me
laying in the dark under the sheets
all covered by the stars all pinned up,
staring down at me
but gentlemen prefer their vaseline dreams
(vaseline dreams)
just let me photograph my vaseline dreams
(vaseline dreams)
(vaseline dreams)
