Golden Earrings Vanilla Queen Lyrics

Vanilla Queen Lyrics

Fascinating lady, snowflake in the sun 



You make me feel so bourgeois 



Oh, you've captured everyone 



I hear you've been a dancer 



At some filthy Paris show 



a million dollar lovers 



Neatly saw you to your door 



Nineteen fifty seven, 



sweetheart of the year 



Secret of your beauty 



was your moontan and your fear 



And now you run this city 



you're still honey to the flies 



Attract the in-crowd dandies 



Faraway-look in their eyes







You're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen 



Your mask is sterile dignity 



Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen 



You haunt me, even in my dreams







It couldn't be avoided 



We were bound to meet 



I knew you would drag me down 



And toss me off my feet 



Sweet moments of desire 



Sweet moments of relief 



You blew down my fences 



You're natural make-believe 







You're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen 



Your mask is sterile dignity 



Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen 



You haunt me, even in my dreams
