Songtexte Red-Light District Boy - Yukon DeRosa

I guess that's who I am
It's who I'll always be
I try to hate this city
But that will never be

I woke up
In the midnight
And went down to club london
In the red light
In the city light
Hallcuinate coyotes out prowling
Because they know
Of the men like he
They know of the trauma
They put upon me
And they watch me
With all eyes
And they grab my arms
And they grab my thighs

And the trauma-response
Ignites inside me
It electrifies my body
And my brain
Turns the switch on
The one that tells me
That I need to run
But I'm trapped here
Under black-light
I'm trapped in the club
And I'm trapped in the night
If I'm not safe
Among the amyl and booze
Then how the fuck
Could I be safe, with you

Live inside my
Red-light district
Put on my pleasers
So I wanna kick this
Get, outta my bed
Can't do that one-night shit again
I think I need more time
To process

Come on sir
Tell me what you're thinking
I think it's time
I, stopped, thinking too
Come on boy
Come swing under the red lights
Come on man
Live inside my red-light district

In the black hole
Of their minds
Fill their bordeom
With sex over time
But the next day
Their beds are empty
They return to the beds
Of the plenty
Every single man
In the city
Has been with your ex
And the man that you're with
They love it
'Cause without it
They'd be in just much pain
As I'm in

That's the beauty
Of being traumatized
The coping mechanisms
Like the colours at pride
But the ones on top
Are muscle-clad
And the ones on the bottom
Have been forced instead
But maybe I deserve this
Maybe I'll never be more than it
So I delve
And I indulge
In the pain
In the torment
Of the trauma I love

Live inside my
Red-light district
Put on my pleasers
So I wanna kick this
Get outta my bed
Can't do that one-night shit again
I think I need more time
To process

Come on sir
Tell me what you're thinking
I think it's time
I, stopped, thinking too
Come on boy
Come swing under the red lights
Come on man
Live inside my red-light district

It's not that I don't trust you
I don't trust any man
For men were coyotes who killed me
And man is always friends with man

It's not that I'm afraid of you
It's that I fear all men
For men were coyotes who killed me
And man will always lie with man

Live inside my
Red-light district
Put on my pleasers
So I wanna kick this
Get outta my bed
Can't do that one-night shit again
I think I need more time
To process

Come on sir
Tell me what you're thinking
I think it's time
I, stopped, thinking too
Come on boy
Come swing under the red lights
Come on man
Live inside my red-light district

Live inside my red-light district
Ain't nothing better than feeling homesick
I walked out of those beds
Won't do that one-night shit again
Lose the feelings come on kill it

Live inside my red-light district
I threw up on the ride home
I hate the taste of your mouth
Come on, spit it out
I think I need another day alone
But that will never be
