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
