little belle
do their prayers keep you company?
little belle
was that you making noise
at all the boys coming then going
down on first street?
little belle
guardian angel
smile
watching over the golden child
safe in the arms of passed relations
little belle
we'll join you soon
it won't be long
when time's measured in oblivion
little belle
guardian angel
smile
watching over the golden child
won't you smile?
watching over the golden child
now I never knew you
neither did he - my future boyfriend
I never knew he existed
til kitten faxed me his picture
was that your influence?
was that your spell?
aw aw aw...
little belle
baby doll kisses sweet
little belle
will you watch over me
the next time in NYC when
I go down on Christopher Street?
little belle
guardian angel
smile
watching over the golden child
aw aw aw
smile
watching over the golden child
won't you smile?

dance the light
the trick inside my camera
memory is all I have
I wonder why; what went wrong
diamond star baby doll
you rested on the velvet
with your lips lined along
the belt of Orion
the glimmer in my window
…baby doll
starring in films that will never be made
the crack in your glass slipper
since, my roses have all turned to jade
one thousand years ago
to me you gave your final blessing
and I caught your last song
diamond star now you’re gone
baby doll

Beautiful Drag

stun/radiate
all your shock visual
all the while there's no grace
from which tramps like we can fall
colors fade, but never die
keep me in
the back pocket of your heart
and the back of your mind
keeping score and keeping time
you're a diamond, a butterfly
it's all such a beautiful drag
an irresistable mess
signalling both lust and distress
such a beautiful drag
divine decadence
squander the remainder of my common sense
drive til we're crazy
you're the times I'll never beat
fabulous freak
shining in my suicide seat
sing to me, albeit born too late,
in your brand new key
I'll be your brand new rollerskates
all roads lead to this
it's all such a beautiful drag
an irresistable mess
signalling both lust and distress
such a beautiful drag
divine decadence
squander the remainder of my common sense
cyan on the outside
magenta within
with a hazy delivery
and a yellow, fuzzy chin
such a beautiful drag
divine decadence
squander the remainder of my common sense
a beautiful drag
an irresistable mess
will you leave me all alone with my loneliness?
don't I know your soul?
(you're beautiful)
don't I know your soul?

In Lieu Of An Overture

y'all we're coming out
in leaps and bounds
our sight would be a wasted fright
without the sound
we hereby convene
in champagne-drenched profanity
the cheeky, glittered tramps
we've come to be
yo hear us holler
from beautiful squalor
we're trash in bracket
how do you do?
oh yeah, we think we love you too
blur the lines around your eyes
the line around your lips
and we'll blur the line
between obsessions and relationships
we'll rattle every bar
on this guilded cage
but you'll never see
the mess we are back stage
would you like to?
how do you do?
with broken hearts in check
and minds cocksure
we'll celebrate this underage
in lieu of an overture

babe, I'm in a state
you've been getting in the swing
magnanimosity is a rare thing
when you're starving
crazed, but I'm only one
with whom you get your groove on
put your heartbreaker, haute couture moves on
slave to your demons
I'm the skyline at twilight
waiting for the sun
my patience has grown thin
as the joke I've become
it's just a question of time
three minutes, three thousand miles
a crowded room, a glance,
and a twist of fate
surrogate valentine
stumbling and running behind
he's on his way
love is always in style
but he's often fashionably late
you're great
but I'm changing states
between pleasure and confusion
New York, LA, and Newton
though my patience has grown thin
as the joke I've become
the song remains the same
with minor variation
it's just a question of time
three minutes, three thousand miles
a crowded room, a glance,
and a twist of fate
surrogate valentine
stumbling and running behind
he's on his way
love is always in style
but he's often fashionably late
I'm the skyline at twilight
waiting for the sun
my patience has grown thin
as the joke I've become
it's just a question of time
three minutes, three thousand miles
a crowded room, a glance,
and a twist of fate
here's to hoping I get this right
I've not a clue, but tonight I've got nothing
except nothing to lose
surrogate valentine
fumbling with his charcoal suit and his lilac tie
babe, he's on his way
love is always in style
but he's often fashionably late

though new to you, I've known you times before
years ago I dreamed this formula
for a ghost, you bleed fine with chrome beneath your skin
hope beneath your coat there's room for two
let me chase the pain of younger days
help you erase their bitterness
angels may debate or disapprove
the light surrounds your face violet-blue
analog displays, useless digital arrays
exhausted as you foster your illusion
let me chase the pain of younger days
help you erase their bitterness
hotwired and inspired, forward and perverse
branded and abandoned, bang the curve...
let me chase the pain of younger days
help you erase their bitterness

Gene Dante Boston, Massachusetts
Gene Dante and the Future Starlets have made a career out of picking glitter from the gutter and wearing it to their black- tie affairs.
