I probably had the best birthday of my adult life at this show. Also picked up this wicked T.A. T-shirt & got a high five from my man Patrick. Great night.

In the house with crooked floorboards, on Main St., Nelsonville,
I sweated into the carpet, hovered over my father and became violent.
Now as I wake up every morning and try to control my breath next to hers,
I sleepwalk Cleveland Avenue to work, and I smile at the women who walk back into me
– I am trying to save face.
From the shot in my lung and the poems you stole –
they were all about you anyway,
so just take ‘em to save face. In the house with crooked floorboards on Main Street, Nelsonville,
we mixed our cool-aid with gin and met eachother trading punches
– “This is nothing special,” I said.
You laughed and we agreed, and we became inseparable friends
but our intelligence got the best of us, yeah we tried to save face.
The Replacements – Androgynous
Here come Dick, he’s wearing a skirt
Here comes Jane, y’know she’s sporting a chain
Same hair, revolution
Same build, evolution
Tomorrow who’s gonna fuss
And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous
Don’t get him wrong and don’t get him mad
He might be a father, but he sure ain’t a dad
And she don’t need advice that’ll center her
She’s happy with the way she looks
She’s happy with her gender
Mirror image, see no damage
See no evil at all
Kewpie dolls and urine stalls
Will be laughed at
The way you’re laughed at now
Now, something meets Boy, and something meets Girl
They both look the same
They’re overjoyed in this world
Same hair, revolution
Unisex, evolution
Tomorrow who’s gonna fuss
And tomorrow Dick is wearing pants
And tomorrow Janie’s wearing a dress
Future outcasts and they don’t last
And today, the people dress the way that they please
The way they tried to do in the last centuries
