Evening Drag - Simeon Soul Charger[00:00:00]

Back to the land of old familiar feelings[00:00:28]

And overflowing fountain cola tides[00:00:34]

I read the lines but couldn't find the meaning[00:00:42]

Was a greeting card in cold fluorescent light[00:00:47]

There's no consent to marry here[00:00:54]

But the cops can't carry off the queers[00:00:57]

So they raid the malls for Mexicans[00:01:01]

And cups of joe that never end[00:01:04]

This isn't home but I'll pretend[00:01:08]

To pick it up and start again[00:01:11]

The paranoids and prophets here[00:01:14]

Speak with one mouth but in both ears[00:01:17]

And everyone spoke of the apocalypse[00:01:21]

With a certainty I didn't have[00:01:24]

When the world didn't shatter[00:01:27]

Well I wonder if they cried or laughed[00:01:29]

And all the choirs and all the people greeting[00:01:36]

They all sang and praised[00:01:41]

And asked if it had changed[00:01:43]

I could have lied but all good things are fleeting[00:01:49]

Well I knew it but it didn't look the same[00:01:54]

The more they spoke the more they were revealing[00:02:16]

And I knew it was a sale and not their lives[00:02:21]

But I stayed quiet and let them go on speaking[00:02:30]

For everyone deserves a chance to lie[00:02:36]

Not alcohol or hurricanes[00:02:42]

Or snorting high school kids' cocaine[00:02:46]

Could scab a wound or twist a fate[00:02:49]

Or dull a child's fermented rage[00:02:52]

Better to burn out fast or so they say[00:02:55]

Than stick around and fade away[00:02:59]

And though we touched I never came[00:03:02]

The sex feels best when I feel ashamed[00:03:05]

And I ran to the paper like a confidant[00:03:09]

And I dressed it in the evening rag[00:03:12]

Well I should have known better[00:03:15]

But old habits kind of seem to last[00:03:17]

And I went to the bottle for my confidence[00:03:19]

And I dressed up in my evening drag[00:03:22]

And everyone chattered[00:03:26]

But I guess I only had to laugh[00:03:27]

How are you my friend[00:03:43]

He said I'm working for the weekends[00:03:46]

If you care enough to ask then I will tell[00:03:49]

And at the end he asked how was I feeling[00:03:58]

Well I heard you were somebody somewhere else[00:04:03]

Annie Star's in Zanzabar[00:04:11]

Where life don't move so fast[00:04:14]

Adam thought his mind apart[00:04:18]

But he was always into that[00:04:21]

And Mike Good really was good[00:04:24]

Well I stayed at his museum[00:04:27]

A magician could not escape[00:04:35]

The crushing load of father's weight[00:04:38]

Or pacify a mother's hate[00:04:41]

That keeps her children rightly raised[00:04:45]

And everyone asked are you a champion[00:04:48]

Of the puppet on the right of left[00:04:51]

They said everything mattered[00:04:54]

But I guess I only had to laugh[00:04:56]

And I ran to the paper like a confidant[00:04:58]

And I dressed it in the evening rag[00:05:01]

Well I should have known better[00:05:05]

But old habits kind of seem to last[00:05:06]

And I went to the bottle for my confidence[00:05:09]

And I dressed up in my evening drag[00:05:12]

And everyone chattered[00:05:15]

But I guess I only had to laugh[00:05:17]
