I met you at the gay bar
down in the strip mall
next to the karate for christ
we were wearing purple wigs
yeah when you walked in
knew it was gonna be a hell of a night

this formidable love
unforgettable love
you know it keeps me up at night
but it’s the reason I shine
I shine so bright

Shine like gold
making me shine like gold

we were painting pink graffiti down on grace street
on the side of that redneck bar
we were howling at the moon like we always do
we were gonna go so far

this belligerent love
inconsiderate love
you know it keeps me up at night
but it’s the reason I shine
I shine so bright

Shine like gold
making me shine like gold
