lyrics

Morrissey’s up on stage singing
I’ve come here to have a good time
I’m a stranger in a strange land
who’s always been too shy

and even though no one speaks English
everyone’s singing all his words
and when you hear his music
you feel young and alive

is that Patrick kissing some guy
I don’t know why I’m acting so surprised
I guess I can’t believe my eyes
and I just don’t know why

why do I see all these strong men cry
reaching their arms towards the heavenly sky
God, I have no reason to hide
the bullfight dies / and there is a light

Monterrey, Mexico March 29th
with the masculinity of a man-handling matador
flowers thrown at his feet
all trying to kiss the king
crying for a cure
forbidden fruit

as I’m about to board the plane
my father texts me “hope you had a great time, fly back safe”
I feel ashamed

when Patrick sees my face change
he sits next to me and he asks me “Elliot, are you okay?”
I don’t really know what to say

last night, I felt something I can’t explain
it’s like the way I look at things may never be the same
I was moved in such a different way
but it’s something that I’ve always known
a feeling, a feeling that’s never gone away

Patrick grabs my face and tells me “you are okay”
he kisses me cheek, shares an earbud as we fly away
I feel safe
I’m not ashamed
