I have built many stone castles
With walls of bricks surrounding me
And as if desperation was not enough
Nature has played a trick on me
I wear my true colors with pride
But I'm the only one to know
I am not raising my flag high
Because I'm an odd against the odds
I have never slept with a teddy bear
I never got the playful eyes
I never threw balls in high school
I just could only play with mine
I never had a taste for lemons
I have always preferred bananas
I'd sink my teeth in tighty-whities
More than in a padded Wonderbra
I'm surrounded by wolves
I'm seeing them everywhere
But I do have my cross to bear
Why do things are so unfair?
I'm growing on frustration
On hunger and obsession
I have been starving for the passion fruit
I feel a full moon rising
My flesh grows out of my skin
But I can't even go berserk out with the dogs
They laugh at me and turn their back but I don't always mind
It is unfortunate but sometimes the view is better from behind
But while they are out having a ball I am having none
So here I am with my duck in the hand
Waiting for an invitation to the promised land
I was the Jestermaster
The Blondie Zombie Rocker
But I'm out of the rainbow while they are all so dummy
I'm not the typi-call boy
I'm not coming from next door
So I'm dancing with myself with the tail between my legs
I bear the curse of the Queerwolf
