Secrets West 29th - Kele

«Don't you feel like time is speeding up?»

Said the rentboy to the priest

For this was only supposed to be

An in-between thing

He wants to see Australia next

Where the boys look like rays of light

He knows when to stop

He’s got his head screwed on right

The first time we met you were on the edge of 17

Dancing at Secrets with that fake ID

You reminded me of me

But now here you are

In chaps and a leather harness at the Panorama Bar

While silver cocaine crystals hang from your nose

And you’re speaking with an accent

That I know you did not used to have before

So I spill your secrets for all my sins

You’re making enemies not friends

From someone who’s been there

It seems you’ve left a trail

And this is your final act

Before it fades to black

How’s a cute boy in this city supposed to make a living?

When life in NYC can be so unforgiving

Ain’t nothing wrong with a little side hustle

Every smart boy in this town has a sugar daddy waiting in the wings

So wet your lips, sell the dream and crawl, crawl to him

Take it all way down the back of your throat

No, I don’t fuck with crystal and neither should you

You’ve got too much to lose

And you don’t need any more bad news

As the feds go knocking round from door to door

The secret service leads you to a car

This is what you do for Balmain

This is what you do for St Laurent

So I spill the tea girl for all that it’s worth

You’re making enemies not friends

From someone who’s been there

Who could have wrote the book

Seems this is your final act

Before it fades to black

He’s down 4 PNP

Fades to black

He’s down 4 PNP

Fades to black
