about

For all the cuties at the CLPP conference

lyrics

Working in a hotel is kind of easy, there's not a lot to say
But you walked in, I couldn't help but grin
I thought about you all day

Oooh

I thought: That person is beautiful
And I know they know
Do you think they think I'm beautiful?
Do you think it shows...

That I'm gay?
I'm really gay
And I really really want you to know
Cuz every day
There's someone new
I just hope my light shines through

Oooh

I like your eyeliner
With wings so sharp they could kill a man
And I like the way your voice rattles like a shiny tin can

But do I seem creepy with the way I smile
And hope you notice me?
If I had a tattoo, if my hair was blue
Would you notice me like I notice you?

I'm gay
I'm really gay
I like girls, boys, non-binary folks, and people like me
But no one can tell in this whole hotel
What I wish that you could see

It's kind of strange though
How I idealize certain aesthetics, affects,
While at the same time I'm lamenting the fact that I lack those same qualities
Cuz I'm gay when I have long hair
You're gay no matter what you wear
We're all gay cuz we want to be
And I need to see that way more clearly

You all are beautiful
And I hope you know
And if you think I'm beautiful
Well, there's one thing I'd want you to know...

I'm ace
[spoken] I'm really ace
I'm not interested in, uh, ;)
I like girls, boys, non-binary folks, and people like me
But I don't know what I want to be with them exactly

I'm gay
My pronouns are "they"
I have a guitar that I sometimes play
I don't have a tattoo
My hair's not blue
But I think my light shines through

Oooh

Too Gay To Function Amherst, Massachusetts

I alternately write songs to put on a mix CD for your crush and rants about how straight boys suck and queer life is weird. I'm currently booking gigs anywhere in or near Boston. I'm also seeking a guitarist or other co-conspirators to write with, plug in some amps and Get Loud. ... more
