Chronicling the life of a young woman in her prime, the songs admonishes the girl (who looks through the world with big bright eyes- ‘you magnify the universe’) to avoid getting stuck in her new world. She lives in her small world of Starbucks coffee, protein shakes, dreams of being on TV and living...
The green mermaid
And the wavy mane
The California dream
Riding a unicone through your Dali?
The free fantasy
That carefree, that beginner's love
The sugar don't live up?
Sailin' on a banana peel?
Your trophy star
Chewing a protein bar
[Chorus]
You magnify the universe
Grab your purse
Grab your love
Pretty girl, don't get stuck
You're aiming for the royal scene
The fast luck
TV dreams
Pretty girl, don't get struck
So Bubble Hills, don't you ever burst
Never let her down
Passing our time on the trailed out crumbs
The birds ate their round
Hawaiian drinks and a famous face
You're posin' innocent
Those new lashes don't go to waste
But it could pay your rent
[Chorus]
You magnify the universe
Grab your purse
Grab your love
Pretty girl, don't get stuck
You're aiming for the royal team
Your fast luck
TV your dreams
Pretty girl, don't get struck
Pretty girl, don't get stuck
Pretty girl, don't get struck
Pretty girl, don't get stuck
(Struck struck struck...struck struck struck...struck struck struck...struck struck struck...struck struck struck...)
