Fountain of Youth Songtext

von Guided by Voices

In the mirror's care now -- comb your silken hair now
You wanna stay young, you wanna stay young
Buy you pretty lace, yeah -- and makeup for your face, yeah
You wanna stay young, you wanna stay young

I hope you know that all of these girls are a lot like you
Cry indigo tears and fall on your knees to the fountain of youth

In her social grace now -- gaining so much praise now
You wanna stay young [you wanna stay young]
Pills and beauty creams, yeah -- protect a little girl's dreams, yeah
You wanna stay young [you wanna stay young]

I hope you know that all of these girls are a lot like you
Cry indigo tears and fall on your knees to the fountain of youth

[I hope you know that all of these girls are a lot like you
Cry indigo tears and fall on your knees to the fountain of youth]
