about

A love song to our apartment, the cities of Oakland & SF, and the LBGTQ community at large.

lyrics

Our Theater

Well, kick off your tennies and sit right down in Our Theater
And the thigh-high boots and the wedding gown are looking even greater
Than all the mutant masters in the whole damn town of Our Theater

Well, the acolytes and Pharisees are on their knees to kiss the feet of Jesus
(No, I wont!)
And the dust mites and fallacies were swept away when they wouldn’t
try to please us
(No, they don’t!)
They’re all swingin’ dick, “What?! What?!” Jabba the Hut! You can
never carbon-freeze us!
(Yes, I will!)

It’s a hate-free district in the land of the free in Our Theater
You freaks and mutants are welcome to be in Our Theater
Just bring a better monkey if you’re talkin’ to me in Our Theater

Now the wait staff and the floor show – even that’s gonna blow your mind
But wait until you fall into the main event to leave your old soul
toe-hold behind

It’s general admission and the drinks are free, and twice as free on Tuesday
(Yeah, that’s right!)
And the balcony center has a perfect view if you call ahead of doomsday
(Stay all night!)
Between The Mighty Rion and the Wee Little Ewe. What would Chris McGrew say?
(I’ll be there!)

If you need a little time to get your head in the game, we can try
again tomorrow
(That’s okay!)
There’s a sliding-scale cover of your good, good will, but it’s not
more than you can borrow
(Here! Take mine!)
I left a lifetime supply in a sky-blue box atop Kilimanjaro
(Way up high!)

Well, nobody is forcing you to do what we say, but it’s Our Theater
My baby and me and Alice the G are in Our Theater
And we’re kickin’ it together. It’s the very best way in Our Theater.

Our Theater!
