Joining A Fan Club

(album: Spilt Milk - 1993)

She turned the nightlight on and blew him a kiss
He stared back through is green Crayola eyes
She traced his likeness from off the back of a disc
Next to the boxtop promise of the biggest prize

Joining a fan club with my friends
Filling our bathtubs with tee shirts and 8 by 10's
He looks so dreamy, I'm in love from afar
When I'm picking up a fallen star

Downstairs The Late Show's blasting "Age of the Rock"
The Greedy Monks playing last Sunday at the Milky Way
Mom's writing checks to the minister in the corner singing "Dig down deep"
'Cause if you wanna go to heaven all you gotta do is pay to pray

Joining a fan club with my pen
Filling my bathtub with holy water and amens
He looks so dreamy, I'm in love from afar
When I'm picking up a fallen star

(Shake)
Shake that woody
(Shake it)
For me, Saint Pinocchio
You've paid your money
Now watch that money grow

Joining a fan club, best be warned
(Best be warned)
He turns me on when he wears that lampshade crown of thorns
We'd be so dreamy, sharing his black caviar
While I'm picking up a fallen star

(Joining a fan club, it's a big mistake)
Joining a fan club, it's a big mistake
I still get heartburn
When I think about all of the stamps I ate
I wished I'd loved him before fate crashed his car
Say a prayer for our fallen star
