Vaseline (For Lillian Gish)
[Verse 1]
Two margaritas and an antacid
The last supper of the pleonastic
Tell me what you see in me and
I'll tell you why its plastic
Something borrowed something
New take another face from the
Shelf cuz what else can I do but
List all my faults to myself
[Chorus]
It's all vaseline on the lens
It's all vaseline it's all pretense
[Verse 2]
I talk about books I've never read
She talks about the rangers
I always give too much too fast
To complete strangers
There's all kinds of things
I'm not at liberty to say
But this is just some dumb pop song
And I haven't slept in days
[Chorus]
It's all vaseline on the lens
It's all vaseline it's all pretense
[Verse 3]
Pepsi cola called me up
Said everything is for naught
So if nothing matters in this
Life might as well spend what
You've got you finish your
Microwave dinner ill smoke
My doral lights the one good
Thing I can say about myself
Is that I never put up a fight
[Chorus]
It's all vaseline on the lens
It's all vaseline it's all pretense
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
It's all vaseline on the lens
It's all vaseline it's all pretense
[Verse 4]
They're making a movie on
The streets of Austin Texas
Today somebody told me it's
A radical film the people are
Attractive in a real life way
Smear a handful on the glass
And make the edges blur
Everything will come to
Pass but that don't mean
It won't hurt
[Chorus]
It's all vaseline on the lens
It's all vaseline it's all pretense
It's all vaseline on the lens
It's all vaseline it's all pretense
