At nig ht in the safety of shad ows and numbers

S eeking some turf on which n othing encumbers

The b uying and selling of c asual looks

S tuff that gets printed in x -rated books

Your m other might have tried to unders tand

When you were h ardly your daddy's little m an

And you g ave up saluting the c hief

To fi nd yourself some r elief

F inely plucked eyebrows and s kin of satin

S miling seductive and e ndlessly Latin

Oly mpic body on d ancing feet

P erfume thickening the a ir like heat

A t ransient star of gay bar f ame

You q uit your job and changed your n ame

And you're n early beyond bel ief

As yo u hunt down a litt le reli ef

The s even foot black with the e merald ring

B roke up a fight without s aying a thing

As the c ops cruised by wanting o ne more chance

To s end Jimmy Baldwin back o ver to France

And a t rucker with kids and a w ife

Pref ers to spend half of his li fe

In e arly Bohemian mot if

Playing p ool and getting reli ef

My f avorite couple was l ooking so fine

D ancing in rhythm and l aughing in rhyme

In the l ight of the jukebox all y ellow and blue

H olding each other as y oung lovers do

To m e they will always rem ain

Unsh amed untamed and unb lamed

The a ltar boy and the t hief

G rabbing themselves some r elief

The a ltar boy and the t hief

C atching a little rel ief
