Mary Gauthier - Goddamn HIV Lyrics
I've been a queer since the day I was born.My family, they don't say much to me,my heart knows their silence has scornMy friends have been dying, all my best friends are deadI walk around these days, with their picture in my headspending my time thinking 'bout the things they sayI don't know whats happening to me, goddamn HIVAnd I don't know what all this meansI don't think it means what it seemsWe used to party all night 'til the dawnI can still see the boys with their tight leather onin the downtown bars, where it always is nightI can hang with my friends 's still allrightI was 30 when the thickness first cameand it rode through my world like a wind driven flame.Leaving ashes, memories, funerals and painand I don't know what's happening to me, goddamn HIVAnd I don't know what all this meansI don't think it means what it seemsWhen I was a boy I get scared at nightMy momma would come, turn on the lightBut there's nobody here with me tonightand I don't know what's happening to mesometime at dusk I walk the train trackand I walk and I walk but I ain't coming backI look at the sky so endless and blackmen I swear its swallowing megoddamn HIV
