Boys on Canvas Lyrics[Verse 1]
I'm jonesin' for fascination
So many people walking by but I can't seem to catch a single eye
I'm done with domestic vibrations
I've played too long with mama's knives
Getting husbands ready for their wives
{Pre-Chorus]
I think I'm gonna take the northern line
Down to the city one more time
I'm gonna stroll on through the halls
Where desire hangs like candy on the painted walls
[Chorus]
Cause I only fall in love with boys on canvas
I forget my loneliness, this side of the glass
I only fall in love with boys on canvas
So blow me a little kiss
To this side of the glass
[Organ & Harmonica Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Well hello, St. Sebastian
Baby, the way you're bleeding out
Yeah, it really turns me on
Poor old St. John the B
Even with your head lying on a plate
Baby you still look good to me
[Bridge]
Shivers climb my spine, move like serpents round the vine
Sing to me oh pretty boys, anything to shut up modern noise
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, could it be that you were mine
In another place another time
Maybe I'm just lost between the lives
Cause every time you look at me with those ancient eyes
[Chorus]
I fall in love with boys on canvas
I forget my loneliness this side of the glass
I only fall in love with boys on canvas
So blow me a little kiss
To this side of the glass
[Post-Chorus]
I think I love you
And you and you and you
I think I love you, baby
[Chorus]
Cause I only fall in love with boys on canvas
I forget my loneliness this side of the glass
I only fall in love with boys on canvas
So blow me a little kiss to this side of the glass
[Outro]
Boys on canvas
C'mon blow me a little kiss
Blow me a little kiss to this side of the glass
