lyrics

She’s got that thing, that thing he likes. She marches in step with nobody in sight. She says “My friend’s in a band, they’re playing out tonight. Meet me at eight.” He’s pretty sure it’s a date. They paint the town racing through the streets. He’s in tip-top form, he’s high on her speed. They get to the show, some drummer girl says hello. Now she’s playing a song, his pseudo-date hums along.
He looks to dream girl. He looks to drummer girl. He looks again. Are they more than just friends? Oh no, not this again. He’s falling for a lesbian.
He got a call from his friend named Tess. Well her girlfriend just left, she’s in a bit of distress. They had a thing, a fling, way back when, and now she’s single again. She says “Come over at ten.” “Don’t do it man although it feels so right! It’s a dead end street. You’ll be wasting your time.” Tess moves in for the kill, next thing a blur in her bed. Then it’s over and done and he’s caught up in his head.
“Hey Tess, I love you. I shouldn’t ask for more. Let’s get married, Tess!” She bolts out the door. Oh no, not this again. He’s falling for a lesbian.
“Hey it’s not your fault,” his friends try and comfort him. “You didn’t turn them away from men.You didn’t make them lesbian. Hey, you’re really specialized. Take it as a compliment. You’re just the layover man … or the last man they can stand.”
Oh no, not this again. He’s falling for a lesbian.
