Teenage Mannequins Lyrics
ever since you were a little boy
you used to think to yourself
that the mysterious ways of a common life
was a commotion riding with a baby boom
and every now and then you saw a face you saw a smile
and by the pillow of a slow decay
you could taste the sweetness of the grenadine smeared upon your bed
for those long bitter days
there was a time
when you were nine
you had those long and shady curls
now your are bald
and way to old
to play among the girls
the happy teenage mannequins
in perforated petty coats
in taffetas of satin hoop crinoline
the puppeteers are working on your midlife Capri pants
and tricel scarves in pastel greens but the restless walks in his jeans
you never were as pretty as Ronny from the gym
he had a hammer for a head and a shovel for a fist
and a face of mutilation talking just like Citizen Kane
now brady boys and rubber dolls, razorblades and barbie bones
saturdays tangled up in purple cymbelines from a wedding
are lying in your bed for those long bitter days
you used to think to yourself
that the mysterious ways of a common life
was a commotion riding with a baby boom
and every now and then you saw a face you saw a smile
and by the pillow of a slow decay
you could taste the sweetness of the grenadine smeared upon your bed
for those long bitter days
when you were nine
you had those long and shady curls
now your are bald
and way to old
to play among the girls
in perforated petty coats
in taffetas of satin hoop crinoline
the puppeteers are working on your midlife Capri pants
and tricel scarves in pastel greens but the restless walks in his jeans
you never were as pretty as Ronny from the gym
he had a hammer for a head and a shovel for a fist
and a face of mutilation talking just like Citizen Kane
now brady boys and rubber dolls, razorblades and barbie bones
saturdays tangled up in purple cymbelines from a wedding
are lying in your bed for those long bitter days
