Apply the make up

Let it cook

Don't forget to tuck

Do it by the book

Who is behind it that mask you hide

And all of those girly rules must abide

Leather tightening, cinching your waist

Give them a show give them a taste

Screams and cheers from anonymous faces

As you lip sync and dance in your shoes

Vodka and coke chugged, as if in races

Sure who doesn't love booze?

The lights go down

You're sweaty and panting

You remove the make up

Your old face back haunting

Going back out still noticed still loved

Becoming a drag fit like a glove

Revel in the leather the whips the chains

Give them a night to remember

Stay melded to their brains

Background Story:

So this one is about being a drag queen and all the feelings that come with it. Being able to create a new face, going out there unrecognizable to family and friends. It must be a real rush, and you gain confidence because no one knows it's you and you feel great because you look good. I will always admire drag queens for their passion and artistry. I don't know how they walk in those heels though like I would break my neck and rupture every artery if I tried. Basically just wanted to have a fun little poem and this fit into that category for me.

Currently in love with this song, Adore+Alaska are talented squirrel friends (get it because they are hiding them nuts)

Hope you all get a chance to dive into drag ;) even if it is just on Halloween. You might enjoy it.
