lyrics

You and I went to the park,
Hand in hand,
Flannel faerie dance,
Two young men,
Disturbed and obsessed with the rise in the population.

Strictly platonic,
You saved my jaw,
Still my heart crawled,
When you called,
You made telephone rings,
Grow butterfly wings inside of me.

You…

Well I hated you at first sight,
Just a gypsy boy dressed in white,
Just a midwest closet Queer,
Lost in New York City.

Then you enraptured me,
In your way of being free,
Sincerely,
You were the healer of men,
With the same old strange disease.

You found the boy inside my adult shell,
You saved him from the hell of gender spells,
You held him in your arms and kissed his long eyelashes,
You called him a Moon Man and his frozen heart melted.

Then we ran into the old gritty New City theater,
And played the grand piano,
Like good old Dellwood Barker.

We shared the bench at Tompkin’s park,
Where strangers smiled on our two hearts,
And predators preyed on our energies,
Not hawks,
Lost souls who’d pay to pray on our charcoal feet.

We let them cause we understood their Hell,
(Good old boys and girls)
They think us, drink us their own healing well,
(Won’t say no, won’t tell )
And then their golden lips rust over when we sound the bell,
(In servitude we dwell)
Because nothing can polish their tarnished shells,
Except the innocence of some unknowing Belle.

And it broke my heart,
To watch your spark,
Be used like cock,
For the broken jaws,
On the poor old restless fiends of the charcoaled streets.

It’s no wonder why you adored,
Every stranger,
And when they became too familiar,
You’d find a way onto a fire escape,
In a room without windows or doors.

And just like that our time was over,
No more spooning in the clovers,
My horses sensed your demons far too soon.

My own bride, of all people, drew you in,
Cause she’s one of the few Shaman,
Who knows how to love men who come from the Moon.

Two boys with falsettos
And dirty clothes,
Kissing like brothers,
We fell for the same woman,
But she was already my lover.
