Le Tigre, "Viz"
(2004)

Walk in
Give him my name
Looks up and down
Takes a good look at my pecs
Puts down the clipboard
Opens the rope for my 'stache
Walk in with my duffle hanging
Hat is tilted, I’m inside
My eyes dream of bedroom surprise

They call it climbing, I call it visibility
They call it coolness, I call it visibility
They call it way too rowdy, I call it finally free

There’s a girl
Her lips that have never seen
She comes up
Dances on me
I look into her eyes
I say, "Hey, you're not a dyke"

She says, "I call it climbing, you call it visibility
I call it coolness, you call it visibility
I call it way too rowdy, you call it finally free"

There’s a slap on my back
I find another butch, hat cocked, and we
We put our hands in the crowd
And over and over
We jump up and down

They call it climbing, we call it visibility
They call it coolness, we call it visibility
They call it way too rowdy, we call it finally free


I've been overlooking Le Tigre for a long time because I store them in the Erasure/Pet Shop Boys/Boy George/"You don't need a damn website to tell you these people are flaming" part of my brain.
