lyrics

I think he is a regular fellow whatever that is.
He's going to have to learn to run with the other horses.
I want to be proud of him.
But he makes it so difficult for me.
My associates ask me what he wants to be
And I have to tell them that he hasn't made up his mind.
Because I just won't tell them that
He wants to be a……..a folk singer.

I daydreamed in Junior High
Suddenly everyone froze like mannequins
I looked around and I found my guy
Kissed him on the lips and I watched him come alive
Among staring empty eyes, in that silent crowded room
We messed around.
Hot breath in our ears, both of us saying the one thing
We had to hear. We said.

You're not alone.You're with me.
You're not alone anymore
You can get up off the floor
And something in your eyes
Telling me
You've had enough of this exclusive club
Wrap me up, kiss me hard
And listen to me breathe.

In High School I could see
Inclusion in the recipe of all I did
Sports team and music scene,
I did just about everything
Even politics.
Aborted attempts at family
And ultimatums my lovers received
A tribal feeling whispering.

You're not alone.You're with me.
You're not alone anymore
You can get up off the floor
And something in your eyes
Telling me
You've had enough of this exclusive club
So wrap me up and kiss me hard
Listen to me breathe.

Somehow later on it all got turned around.
Maniacally attached to the isolation booth
In Jeannie's bottle with pillows strewn I'd lounge around.
Waiting for Major Anthony Nelson.
Folk Singer
Yea Yea Yea Yea Yea Yea

You're not alone.You're with me.
You're not alone anymore
You can get up off the floor
And something in your eyes
Telling me
You've had enough of this exclusive club
So wrap me up, kiss me hard
And listen to me breathe.
