Do I take the test?
Do I want to know?
The panic in my chest
Is heavy like firn snow
Am I condemned to death?
Or is my body fine?
Is my blood baby's breath
Or sacramental wine?
Do I dare to eat a peach?

Will my trousers fit
When I try them on next week?
Do you think I'll live to '83?
Or will I lie and wilt?
Will I leave a legacy
Beyond a fucking patch
Upon a fucking quilt?
Is heaven heavenly?

Let's dance through the decade
Let's get out alive
Let's pin these rеd ribbons to our chests in pride
Don't follow the firе
Find your will to survive
And send back Cole Berlin
'Cause I miss my Jobriath! (What?)
And in the end
All I wanted was a boyfriend
I never liked group sex
Where is the tenderness?
Where are my friends tonight?
I'm gonna drink some nice Champagne by the river
Listen to Patti Smith's Elegie
And pray for those who remain
