Ode To Gilbert

she works in a dessert establishment
selling doughnuts from 9 to 5
filling them up with raspberry jam
and dreaming away her life
thinking about the boy next door
who works in dvds
lauren just wants a boy to love
and share her fantasies

she wants to climb up high and shout out loud
'im the king of the world'
she wants to crawl down low and hide a while
and watch how people smile
she wants to fly to the moon in a lacy bra
and parachute the whole way back
but lauren just wants a boy to love
what's so hard about that? [dodger woofing in background]

in a hairnet and wistful frown
she offers some girls their change
staring at their polka dot dresses
she thinks they all look the same
reckons she's got more to give than transparent beauty
lauren just wants a boy to love
and share her fantasies
