Black Lipstick

it's a bad idea to say you love me then try to tell me who I am
it's a bad idea to say you love me then try to tell me who I am
cause you might think that I can't get along without you
but I assure you that I can
black lipstick, nails, and eyelids, you can bury me with my black dress on
it's a bad idea to get up in my face and try to tell me what to wear
it's a bad idea to get up in my face and try to tell me what to wear
you might cite some rule of some kind of law
but I obviously don't care
black lipstick, nails, and eyelids, you can bury me with my black dress on
black lipstick, nails, and eyelids, you can bury me with my black dress on
black lipstick, nails, and eyelids, and my long black dress
and don't address me as a man with some kind of messed-up kink
no one asked you what you think
it's a bad idea to visit my grave and try to tell me who I was
it's a bad idea to visit my grave and try to tell me who I was
cause if you contradict what I said over and over and over
then I'll haunt you till you're dust
black lipstick, nails, and eyelids, and my long beard, and my black dress on

Defend the Night
02:00

not everybody wants me to get up in the morning
these days, I mostly eat my breakfast out of spite
they're passing laws against my haircut and my body and my name
they'll fucking kill me if they want to, but I'll never die from shame
I'm on the lookout for the blackout, I gotta defend the night
not everybody's crazy about my candles and my wine
to be honest, all these swastikas on tv are giving me a fright
with the guns and the camps and the rallies and the slurs
and the sheep all bending backwards to dress jackals up in furs
we gotta lookout for the blackout, we gotta defend the night
not everybody wants us all to look so fabulous
it's so tricky to exist unless you're rich, straight, christian, cis, and white
don't tell me it'll be alright
don't you fucking tell me it'll be alright
we're on the lookout for the blackout, we gotta defend the night
we gotta defend the night
we gotta defend the night

I remember late December, 1999
the world was supposed to crumble, all of the clocks were supposed to unwind
a lot of mothers and fathers bought up all the candles and drew the blinds
cause they thought, "this is it this time
and it's gonna be the end of time"
what do people do when they think they know something's out of control?
some of them freak out the neighbors over the safety of their souls
some of them break out the cardboard and markers, and some of them hide like moles
when they think, "this is it this time
and it's gonna be the end of time"
we are not the apocalypse for you
we are not destructive, glitched, or new
so take a glass of champagne, it could be a new year for you too
and raise your glass to our survival
since 1999, there've been 20 new year's days
and the world has ended several times in different ways
but my mother and father still have all their candles tucked away
cause it wasn't the end that time
it wasn't what they thought that time
we are not the apocalypse for you
we are not destructive, glitched, or new
so take a glass of champagne, it could be a new year for you too
and raise your glass to our survival
raise your glass to our survival
raise your glass to our survival

Nuclear Family Order
02:03
|
|||
|
but you lay down the law, lay down the law
to maintain the nuclear family order
love's got nothing to do at all
with any of your marching orders
you call me waste
I take up space
I take my space without camouflage
so why do you
keep trying to
lock my true form up in the garage?
you wag your jaw and wag your jaw
and maintain the nuclear family order
but love's got nothing to do at all
with the nuclear family order
the holidays
were not a phase
not for me, though you could always change
if your love is real
this is the deal:
take me as I am, or always be estranged
take me as I really am, or be estranged

I'm Not That Guy Anymore
02:03
|

|
I used to be a man
at at times, I belonged in a garbage can
there's not much I can say other than
I'm not that guy anymore
it follows me around
all the things I used to say make a rattling sound
but I've been shedding my skin, and I've found
I'm not that guy anymore
I'm not completely new
I've just changed in a few ways that I wanted to
and my place in the world is so different than it was before
so if you see me now
I hope the difference shows through somehow
beyond the dress and the pronouns
I'm not that guy anymore
I'm not completely new
I've just changed in a few ways that I wanted to
and my place in the world is so different than it was before
beyond the dresses and nails
beyond the makeup and the jewelry and all that stuff entails
beyond the change to what I wear from what I wore
I'm not that guy anymore
I'm not that guy anymore

Poor Eliza has one of those voices that always sounds like it's breaking the worst possible news to you in the most empathetic possible way, and it's a power matched here by the full band production.

From America...The Daylilies

For me, this new Boston-area supergroup lands somewhere between the Buggles and Blondie, and I am absolutely 100% here for it.
