I'm a Transvest-Lite

歌詞

I first heard frank say He wanted to dress like fay wray I wanted that too, but what could I do In junior high school in L.A. My heart skipped in the scene He said you gotta be it not just dream It was a taboo I knew I wouldn't pursue I didn't have the self-esteem I've gotta confess that I like to crossdress And been doing it since I was thirteen It's hard to tell bros that you wear women's clothes Even in the open-minded punk scene You'll probably get hurt in heels and a skirt When you're in the middle of a circle pit So I'd only wear panties under boxers To keep it all a secret Now I'm tellin' everyone 'cause its fun and I don't give a shit For thirty years I still had the same fears Then I saw hedwig play at Bilgewater's gig And felt the same envy and tears I decided right there I can't be bothered to care What other people think, I'm gonna dye my pubes pink And throw out all my hanes underwear I'm not transgender, I'm a lazy crossdresser Who thinks makeup is too much of an ordeal I paint my toes and wear shiny tight clothes Not for the look, but how it makes me feel I don't need to dress right, I'm a transvest-lite I only shave to do the time warp midnight saturday I'm done with self pity I don't have to feel shitty 'Cause I wanna look pretty So I give it the old city college try Don't get me wrong I still wanna be a guy Who sometimes likes to dress like a girl He sometimes likes to wear diamonds and pearls Don't think I don't know I'm not foolin' anyone He's a cross between adele and charlie chaplin You gotta know its not just girls, who just wanna have fun
