fix my life
with things i like
see me dance
in your light
last july it was raining hard
i was cold i was wet i walked into the bar
there you stood
with your t-shirt torn
and your ripped up jeans
what a way to be born
and the ice in my glass
just like me
melted, like
rain rolled over and out to sea
and we ran to my truck
out of breath, full of luck
and there was something different about the way
that it felt when we touched
going all through me
and the look in your eye
seemed to say
fix my life
with things i like
see me dance
in your light
that was back in 1987
when love was free
and life was heaven, it was the coldest day in february
we drove down to the cemetary
you said it was a fine day for a funeral
but i couldn't see through
your cool black case of h.i.v.
attacking our entire society
condoms become a way of life
without it, man
your dick's a knife
i said it, i said it
believe it, i mean it
hearts beating in the hall - laughing at it all
loving is the key to the future
hearts beating in the hall - laughing at it all
nothing is the key to the future
now, i'm the ghost in everyone
i am your daughter
i am your son
i'm the painter who paints no more
your doctor, your lover
the boy next door
that ron ignored and george abandoned
i'm the queer and voiceless champion
and i live inside you
i live inside you
fix my life
with things i like
see me dance
in your light
