Face On a Magazine

I like to buy different magazines And bring them to my home Cut out all the faces And replace them with my own I always look so happy In other peoples lives I can be the best of husbands Along side the best of wives It all depends on my mood On any given day I could be hang gliding in the South Pacific Or hiking the hills of Mandalay On a beach in Florida With perfect kids flying a kite At a Hollywood premier My face on any star I like I used to lead a boring life As I sat around at home Now pasting my face in different magazines I go and do anything I want I just purchased NASA monthly Dare I go to the moon If they picture two astronauts together You know I'd go with you There's this island magazine I've been saving From a travel agency Can't wait to paste my face out swimming In the bluest of the bluest seas I'll flip through all the pages Till I come up with the perfect tan On top of the perfect body Then I will be the perfect man It's not always fun and games I do have a serious side When I paste my face onto orphans or the homeless Then wet the pages as I cry There's so many different things I do Depends on the mood and the magazine What peaks my interest at the store that day And who it is I'd like to be
