The ghosts of gay sex still haunt these trees You can see gay ghosts down on their knees They come when they want, They come as they please Ghosts of gay sex in the 70’s
Ghosts in the ramble, ghosts on the pier Ghosts of the men no longer here No longer here
I’ve seen them appear with the crescent moon Felt the air turn cold Heard ‘em whistle a tune that raises the dead from a ghostly cocoon Ghosts of gay sex in the 70’s
Ghosts of the ramble, ghosts of the pier Ghosts of the men no longer here Ghosts of the trucks and ghosts of the baths Ghosts who still menace my walking paths Jaunting through their haunting grounds with nervous prying eyes Each omnipresent, a large iridescent penis between his thighs Could I have been so brazenly amorous? Would I have been so glamorously unwise? Give me liberty and/or little deaths Pleasure, hound-dog, panting breaths White t-cells that won’t replace Scars and lesions on my face
Would I have taken a gamble way back when? A gamble here with all these men? With the ghosts of the ramble, ghosts of the pier Ghosts of the men no longer here? Ghosts of the trucks and ghosts of the baths Ghosts who still menace my walking paths Ghosts of the ramble, ghosts of the pier Ghosts of the men no longer here Ghosts of the trucks and ghosts of the baths Ghosts who still menace my walking paths Ghosts of the ramble, ghosts of the pier Ghosts of the men no longer here Ghosts in the water, Ghosts in the trees Ghosts of gay sex in the 70’s
