Evelyn

I can remember Evelyn
I’ve been where she’s been
Eternally under twenty-five
We’re closer than kin
Here she comes, here she comes — not the boy that she was
Give her some medicine, put her on parade
Keep the kids in the womb
We don’t want them born
No, just keep 'em warm
The twenty-first century came and died
I started too late
You grew up on Prince and Elton John
I grew up on hate
Here she comes, here she comes — not the boy that she was
See her eyes, still alive in that face
Keep the kids in the womb
We don’t want them born
No, just keep 'em warm
We love our sons and the girls they are too
She could understand when she was a man
Evelyn
Baby, be a man
