THE LYRICS:
Two
boys…they’re not brothers
They’re not lovers either
Doing what they do
And doing what they do best
And being what I could never be…
This
is the fire to their flame
Their religion…their board
And watching is my reward
Recapture past glory retell the old story
Doing what they do best
Being what I could never be
They
stand above me and I see them for who
they
are
Their bible the board
The ramp the religion
The anger the fears
Their doubts the tears
All did beneath the smile
The man lets out his child.
And
I usually see them in intoxication
But I see purification now
This is what my piano is to me
And now I see you differently
Now I see you doing…doing what you do best
Now I see you being what I could never be
(Masculinity)
No
longer a drunk no longer a child
Across the ramp they let themselves wild
And for a moment I see as they do…
I could never do what you do
I could never feel what you feel
But for a moment your shell disappears
And you become real…
