My Purity
If I was dirt
That filled up your Life
If I was dirt
So pure and so refined
I'd be the dirt that
blackened all that shined
Which one would show a purity
Which one would show how curious
this purity has been
My purity, My purity
My thoroughness, My purity
If I was dirt
that would make you lie
could I be the dirt
in your irreverent smile
Please pass the dirt
I'll have some on mine
Which one would show my purity
Which one would show how Curious
this purity has been
My purity, My purity
by thoroughness, My purity
Drag me down and plough me
under nothing stays the same
Drag me down and plough me
under nothing will ever change?
If I was the dirt you brought
through your doorstep
And did that dirt Leave you
feeling molested
How was that dirt that you've
ingested
Which one would show my purity
Which one would show how curious
this purity has been
My purity, My purity
My thoroughness, My purity
Got To Be A Bore
"I hope my head will heal
I hope my head will heal
it's all I ever wanted to feel
All well adjusted"
I just can't feel this way anymore
Feeling this way got to be a bore
"I hope my head will heal
I hope my head will heal"
It's problematic and compelling
a corrupt disguise
"I hope my head will heal
I hope my head will heal"
A flaming martyr with the pangs
of a Jesus Christ
"It's all I ever wanted but I'm
so self distructive"
I can't feel this way anymore
Feeling this way got to be a bore
So simple unassuming selfless
human acts of grace
With a murdered ego I go
surely this can't be vain
To know what you want knows
the essence of all insane
as I am we are
I am all all all insane
Wax Ecstatic
When things just aren't going your way
Like a problem hair you pluck or shave?
But shaving got to be such a bore
and you deserve so much more
and happiness is just a purchase away
Angelina it'll fix your hunchback
Angelina it'll help your time pass
Angelina here's a forecast
Angelina it's science we never laugh
Here's something that is automatic
It's Wax Ecstatic
When life is nothing less than tragic
It's Wax Ecstatic
When life has lost all it's magic
It's Wax Ecstatic
When life can't promise the fantastic
It's Wax Ecstatic
Throw all your troubles away
you'll nothing left that you want to save
With this circus you'll need nothing more
and all your troubles walk out the door
and it's all just a phone call away
Angelina it'll fix your hunchback
Angelina it'll help your time pass
Angelina here's a forecast
Angelina it's science we never laugh
Here's something that is automatic
It's Wax Ecstatic
When life is nothing less than tragic
It's Wax Ecstatic
When life has lost all it's magic
It's Wax Ecstatic
When life can't promise the fantastic
It's Wax Ecstatic
The Drag Queens Of Memphis
With a sparkle boot on the
Grave of Elvis he shouted " Hey King, I'm here
It's your Queen
And it's been such a long time my friend and I've
brought a couple of beers"
There's Drag Queens
There's Drag Queens
In Memphis
With a giddy up and a rodeo with killer
Detroit style and killer Detroit smiles
They had sparkles on their footsteps
you know they even had cowboys stuck
in their eyes
There's Drag Queens
There's Drag Queens
In Memphis
Otis, I can still hear you are sitting
out on the dock
The music will never stop
Sam and Dave said "Get ready"
you know the rest said "I'm comin'
I'm comin' " baby, make it last
There's Drag Queens
There's Drag Queens
In Memphis
I Am Anastasia
I found your name in a book and in
that book a letter, were the words of
a girl who said that she was lead away and
left for dead but somehow she survived
it. How was it no one would believe that
you were part of their world a different world
one they denied you
If I could help you I would
help you now you can speak through me
I am Anastasia
I'm haunted by a girl whose
life's locked in these pages
But through these works she will be free through
me I know we won't forget her
She can speak through me
I am Anastasia
Silence Is Their Drug
We, we can do anything
why do they beat us down with their lies.
They object us they reject us
time after time then we ask ourselves
Why are we alive
"I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug
We, we are everything
why do they beat us down to their size
The better we fit the bigger
they get and we justify their
lousy existence.
Why are we alive
"I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug
Have You Seen Mary?
If you see Mary please will you help her
She seems to be looking for answers
If you see Mary please will you help her
with questions that go unanswered
Like why does she feel all dead on the inside
But as a child she remembers feeling alive
who was that man that made
my mother cry all night
was that my father who was my father
If you see Mary please will you help her
She seems to be looking for answers
If you see Mary please will you help her
with questions that go unanswered
The men that walked into her life
are no different than all the others
that promise the world and then they leave her
She says I should have known better,
I should have known better
Will she always feel so all alone
Why was there never a man in her home
and will I end up like my mother
by myself with no other
with no other
If you see Mary please will you help her
She seems to be looking for answers
If you see Mary please will you help her
with questions that go unanswered
My Baby Said
She was a waitress but convinced
She had been a dead movie star
reincarnated to live the live of a queen
But the real scars she was nursing
were not from her man but from
her beast of burden because in real life
she could not live her dreams
All day long he drove a cab
for 30 years he was the man
take you anywhere that you pleased
And for 30 years he was amazed
he took care of his wife and her bad legs,
he thought he lived a life like a machine
And he hoped he could have been the
drummer man in some great big band
that would drive the world wild with his beat
(and oh yeah)
Baby said that
She always been a dreamer
She ain't scared with her hands up in the air
she shows the world she's a super star
can't you see.
Are stars made or are they born
she's glamorous but so unknown
and she's always so well received
and easy to love and easy to please
Baby said that
She always been a dreamer
Death Of A Drag Queen
In heaven and made up she felt
so cold
the thing she wanted was not hers to own
somebody take me home
somebody take me home
One day she stole him into her dreams
Now behold it a love supreme
Here is a human in unusual form
and finds a mans man
and now love adorns
Here comes the death of a drag queen
The death of a drag queen
Pursed and tragic fully obscene
Funs her man up the lumberjack queen
While someone sits at home
While someone is alone
While someone sits at home
While someone is alone
Death of a Drag Queen
With my murder style it will bring him home, home
Dried blood on make up
and her skin all torn
a resurrection smile
is the last thing she wore
she ain't never goin' home
Death of a Drag Queen
(Evil dances to the sound of a Bosa Nova beat)

Imagine You
Ordinarily I don't feel so
buried but I'm thinking again
and I've lost some time.
I disappear and I re-appear
someone pull me
out of the clouds.
who let this happen
who made me think I
had it down
I can imagine You.
These thoughts I carry I
wear around just like an
electric shock just pull
the switch and watch me
twitch you'll always see
me smile
