Kathleen

[Verse 1]

I was sitting with a bloody head outside of X

At the Berkeley Square in my proud-boy dumbness

Half drunk, half sexed, half conscious

Lenny said, "Shouldn't you check it?"

I said, "Checking is for wimps"

So I flew into the hedge up and above

Looking at the blue skies below, flying like a dove

I was head over heels when I hit the manhole cover

Kathleen walked up, said, "You all right?"

No, I'm in pain, duh

[Verse 2]

Well, sleeveless shirts and Catholic school skirts

Small girls, big cars, it's the other way around

She said, "Just show me where it hurts"

Said, "You can pick me up and take me home

Just join me on the ground"

And we could have some kids

If we're lucky, they'll be gay

And we could be proud parents in the pride parade

I swear, I almost cry every year when they go by

If I'd only been a girl instead of a guy
