I've been living under a magic spell,
Trying to satisfy my longings with the affections of an angel that fell from the sky.
Most of my life has been a pursuit of potioned elixirs, miracle cures,
Get your soul back for a dollar and ride the new attraction.
But each one grabbed a fraction of my heart and tore it off,
Leaving a bigger void to fill,
An endless search for the next new thrill,
A constant exertion of my human will
To keep my desires secret until someone could break the spell.
I always wanted a beauty queen
To be the answer to all my dreams.
I’d open my eyes and there she'd be
To take these lonely feelings away
Now back when I was a little tyke,
I remember quite vividly this magazine with a pretty face plastered on the cover.
She was the most amazing woman I'd ever seen,
And I just had to be with her,
To have her hold me and kiss me and... love me.
So being the imaginative young boy who still thought I could grow up to be a zebra,
I took that magazine into the bathroom and kissed Wonder Woman on the lips.
They were oh, so papery and crinkly, those magazine cover lips.
But that disappointment only fueled my endless search.
I always wanted a beauty queen
To be the answer to all my dreams.
I’d open my eyes and there she'd be
To take these lonely feelings away
That hidden flame of desire kept growing
Despite my intellectual wisdom that said I wasn't ready to get married in the 5th grade.
Inside I wanted someone to see me as Peter Parker to her Mary Jane,
Superman to her Lois Lane,
Want me the same way that I wanted her.
But I'm still waiting...
I wish I could tell you the secret in this final stanza,
How I got it all figured out now that I'm older and infinitely wiser.
I guess I can only say that if you’re hoping for some beauty queen, or guy, to give you the lovin’ you need,
You’re going to be really disappointed.
Besides, that’s way too much pressure for any human
To have to figure out how to break the spell of my heart.
I always wanted a beauty queen
To be the answer to all my dreams.
I’d open my eyes and there she'd be
To take these lonely feelings away
But there's no ultimate beauty queen
Who can be the answer to all my dreams.
She can't fill the void in the heart of me
Or take these lonely feelings away.
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, dooo doo,
Don’t sell your heart for cheap.
