about

I long ago bought this T-Shirt, Homophobia Is Gay on Christopher Street. I so loved it, but it vanished. I think the phrase says it all.

lyrics

HOMOPHOBIA IS GAY

what are you looking at?
take your eyes
away
ya got a problem?
step back
step back across the line

maybe i like it
a sick narcotic
attention brings
to me

what are you looking at?
elevator eyes
i ain’t gay, dude
but ya make me feel

something weird
something scary
something weird

shut yr mouth
r ill hit ya in the face

what are you looking at?
keep on walkin’
n don’t look back
r i’ll hit ya in the face

homophobia
is gay

something weird

get the fuck outa here

something weird

what are ya looking at?
walkin down the alley
there ain’t no street light

turn around asshole
homophobia
is gay

i feel something
i ain’t used to
can you feel my heart?
can yr feel the heat
on my breath?
it’ll give me away
like a bad card in poker
where’s my cheater’s face
i need that now
t hide behind
t hide behind
t hide behind
my mask

homophobia
is gay

here’s lookin at you kid

i feel something
i ain’t used to
can you feel my heart?
can yr feel the heat
on my breath?
it’ll give me away
like a bad card in poker
where’s my cheater’s face
i need that now
t hide behind
t hide behind
t hide behind
my mask

get the fuck outa here

homophobia
is gay
