INSIDE OUT

JEAN/GENIE and GAZEBO
MANGO FANDANGO

It used to be a desert out here
A low rent look of khaki
Denim and scruff
But then the drag queens came
And fabulosity reigned
Feather boas and parasols
Lingerie and stilettos
Rubber thongs and vermilion lace
Perversion and grace
Leopard stockings and Chinese
robes
A menagerie of cheap shades
Bones in your nose
You know anything goes out here
Anything goes out here

Purple pudenda and dangling dongs
Hippie dippy beads and
formal gowns
Thigh high boots and fairy wings
Playboy robes and vinyl skirts
So short they lift on their own
Red hot panties on Santa Claus
A strap-on for Jesus H. Christ
Accessories for the body and mind
So the body won’t mind you at all
Accessories for the body and mind
So the body won’t mind you at all

Every man and woman
Every guy and girl
And tranny and tomboy
And oldster running wild
Is a blinky blinky star
Strutting out on this dusty stage
Shining out from this dusty stage

Inside is out, outside is in
The costume that you wear
Is your marvelous, ridiculous,
maniacal, lascivious, ostentatious
dreamtime skin
A romper room of mystics out here
Aliens, angels, and beasts
Devils and gods
Halloween for the horny and high
And fabulously hot
Porn clowns and bunny boys
Pirates, vampires, cupcakes
From the heights of freakiness
You have reached into the breach
You as you never have been
Cause you’ll never really know who
you really are
Til you manifest your avatar

Every man and woman
Every guy and girl
And tranny and tomboy
And oldster running wild
Is a blinky blinky star
Shining out in this dusty void
Calling out from this dusty void

Inside is out, outside is in
The costume that you wear
Is your marvelous, ridiculous,
maniacal, lascivious, ostentatious
dreamtime skin

[This tent looks fun, let’s check
it out...]
dongs
