Glitter Lust
Waterproof Blonde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make my bed at the Delano
Sleep on the pulse of the underground
Sunday dreams of the PLO
Waking up when the sun goes down

I wanna be with a novelist
Spend my nights on a cocaine binge
I'm so scared of communists
Hiding out waiting on revenge

Too many lies for me to confess
You know I make it effortless

Hey, yeah yeah
Though my swagger is dangerous
Hey, yeah yeah
Got a bad case of glitter lust

When I open my eyes it's so beautiful
Waking up in a sea of men
I'm not sure about the obvious
And I'm not sure about where you've been

Too many lies for me to confess
You know I make it effortless

Hey, yeah yeah
Though my swagger is dangerous
Hey, yeah yeah
Got a bad case of glitter lust

(Guitar Solo)

Too many lies for me to confess
You know I make it effortless

(Hey hey, yeah yeah)
Though my swagger is dangerous
(Hey hey, yeah yeah)
Got a bad case of glitter lust

Hey, yeah yeah
Though my swagger is dangerous
Hey, yeah yeah




Got a bad case of glitter lust
Ya I'm down with the glitter lust
