My Cousin, My Idol MAG
Bleached blonde hair
(dark at the roots)
with purple highlights,
(Grape Kool-aid)
tye-die and plaid
beads and chains
tights and boots
and long gauzy skirts
At 17 you were everything
at 7 I was so boring
"Don't worry, your time will come"
But what happened to you?
Now your hair is brown
(naturally)
with golden highlights
(Clairol)
Blouses and pleated skirts
Pearls and lockets
Sweater sets and pumps
And pressed khaki pants
And crisp, clean clothes
At 27 you're so boring
At 17 I'm afraid my time will come
