Leggings, Go-Go Boots, Training the Questions
I am alive
Shame is my purse
Red doors my curse
alcohol my stimulant
passified by the darkness
you provide
Haunted by the light I long to caress
Can you love my injected breast
my toe jam sling-a-ding

I want to be like you, regular joe on the street
I want to be like Jill, soft and sweet
I need the jeers, pulls and lip smacks
I want to be free
I want to work free of discrimination
I want ENDA
I refuse to give up my extra pay for being gay
I will lavish you with saliva cause you stand in my way
Forget the years we trampled puddles together.
I am alive and want it all today
cause am fabulous.
