Lyrics

Staring through overcautious symmetry
They point and they sneer
You are just another oddity
You girlie-boy, you little queer

Stockings 'round your knees
Such a sorry sight
Mascara glistening
Oh no not here tonight

Dressing in your sister's living room
Lipstick so blue it's quite sublime
Painted but not protected from
those "intellectual" finger signs

Stockings 'round your knees
Such a sorry sight
Mascara glistening
Oh no not here tonight

Leaving the club in humility
Those "real men" have made their point again
You are only martyred but don't worry love
There's just no sense of taste in the primate

Stockings 'round your knees
Such a sorry sight
Mascara glistening
It happened again tonight

But there's no need to run and hide
There's no need to run and hide
They can not take away what's inside
There's no need to run and hide
You're still as special as the day you first tried
