Theri I burned right through the bonds I saved for fashion school I messed up babe With no reserves my way, I placed on ad on craigslist: Pics and prices babe I should have told you years ago I’m as gay as they come If you measure my wings ...yea yea... Theri I lost my place on the throne of my family Dad cut up the visa babe Staying out too late, making extra use of the trusts of Sallie Mae Girl, never tell our friends I’m as broke as they come If you measure my wings...yea yea Lets go back to living 13 years ago Living for the very last Last shooting star! Lets go back in casting for the handsomes The friends of your sister The best of Westchester in the palm of our hands And then we’d escape one day…. Theri I stole his heart for a night at Bungalow 8 He has such panache Babe He says he’ll take me away on his jet and off my knees So touchy feely babe Can you comp your virtue then get it back again After he’s gone or has gone bad? Theri I skied right through the snow I bought for me and you You know I owe you one babe Theri I’ll make good too on all the money that I owe you You know you bail me out babe. Can a friendship last this long? Did you think I was wrong To measure my wings ? ..yea yea Playing like I had it under lock and key I slept through every class I slept through every thing Do you think we’ve out grown that little town Of obscurity? The best of Westchester in the palm of our hands And then we’d escape one day…

Guess my days are getting rather predictable My bills paid and my god satisfied But there are grave stakes in getting to comfortable I have so much life to live And so much love to give And the man gets his due propers every night And I need to keep it interesting I must escape the grip of monotony But who has the energy For eight performances a week When your act is cold and tired Breaking your neck from working on it Wrecking your wrists from pulling on it You get worn and wired Due to a lack of inspiration But my good friend says "the act of creation should hurt" so let it hurt And summon all my aces, and I'll call places A brake down at the end of the second act A belting tenor forgets his last lines A stunned crowd sits and wonders how to react They stare at his open mouth And wait for genius to pour out So routine is by nature the kiss of death When you make love or make a song it can kill So I will wait for the tenor to get his lines, And when they come back to him He can begin again. When your act is cold and tired Breaking your neck from working on it Wrecking your wrists from pulling on it You get worn and wired Due to a lack of inspiration But my good friend says "the act of creation should hurt" so let it hurt And summon all my aces, and I'll call places

Caremilla 05:02
Oh Caremilla, you’re lying to me, you’re lying to me A streak of horror has just fallen all over your face I guessed your secret we’ve been doing it in the darkness, haven’t we It felt synergy when I guessed I shed the only! Oh Caremilla, he was under your spell but I am not! I said who cares if you love him, if you’re skinny or not I said sit down, you;ve got your camera man he’s gonna tell ya to say freeze It felt synergy, serendipity I shed the only… I can’t believe that after all of these years I’d know that things you show in public, yea, its just a show It’s ok dear, no one’s here , dear You’ll leave all this behind… All you pop divas! won’t you help on my daughter, why don’t you And Caremilla, you’ve been crying all night haven’t you? I know you do.. and I will always be just down the street when you take off those wedding shoes, please… oh you’re blushing, I’ll color you I shed the only tear for you… I can’t believe , I can’t believe that you’re lying to me As I woman, I always thought it was crystal clear: that it’s always Men are just a game You’ll leave all this behind : And won’t you take a good look at, what you done for me? because I love you, yes I do! You’ll leave all this behind.

On a ship with no engineer I lost myself on the dock In love with ships veneer, I steered it right into some rocks, without noticing The ship, with her bulkhead in breach took she took on water on gallons below Which made us slow Then the rain came to bring me a fog to calm the waves Guess my lessons learned Mind your view and sail With your head on top of your head Later I sailed on a ship with my love at my side Somehow we made it through st rose and hurricane eyes, and our wanderings Many pink sunsets would burn out our eyes as we took the views Followed the moons Where dolphins corralled us and took us out to sea We got lost in the whirlpools that spun love away from me Guess my lessons learned If you must burn Then you will burn Burn all your life So let me live Darling let me live, and ill go my own way Let's live live Darling let me live, I'll go my own way
