I put on some makeup.....

  • Ok, for those you who are having a bad night (which I am dealing with....I miss you Mom...March 7th 2007)

    I just blast this song and feel so much better....and I thought that I would share. (Disclaimer...I am a huge dork and sometimes I dance like this: )


    On nights like this
    when the world's a bit a mess
    and the lights go down
    across the trailer park
    I get down
    I feel had
    I feel on the verge of going mad
    and then it's time to punch the clock

    I put on some make-up
    and turn up the tape deck
    and pull the wig back on my head
    suddenly I'm Miss Midwest
    Midnight Checkout Queen
    until I head home
    and put myself to bed

    I look back on where I'm from
    look at the woman I've become
    and the strangest things
    seem suddenly routine

    I look up from my Vermouth on the rocks
    a gift-wrapped wig still in the box
    of towering velveteen.

    I put on some make-up
    and some LaVern Baker
    and pull the wig down from the shelf
    Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963
    Until I wake up
    And turn back to myself

    Some girls they have natural ease
    they wear it any way they please
    with their French flip curls
    and perfumed magazines
    Wear it up
    Let it down
    This is the best way that I've found
    to be the best you've ever seen


    I put on some make-up
    and turn up the eight-track
    I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
    Suddenly I'm Miss Farrah Fawcett
    from TV
    until I wake up
    and turn back to myself

    Shag, bi-level, bob
    Dorothy Hammil do,
    Sausage curls, chicken wings
    It's all because of you
    With your blow dried, feather back,
    Toni home wave, too
    flip, fro, frizz, flop,
    It's all because of you
    It's all because of you
    It's all because of you

    I put on some make-up
    turn up the eight-track
    I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
    Suddenly I'm this punk rock star
    of stage and screen
    and I ain't never
    I'm never turning back

    -Wig in a box
    From Hedwig and the Angry Inch


    Any of you want to list some song you like to listen to that pump you up or make you feel better? Please share!
  • HEDWIG! I love Hedwig & the Angry Inch! Great musical, great movie

    And you're right, that's a fantastic song

    I got to see it with Anthony Rapp on stage
