Turnstile

Turnstile

It’s my style

Feel the cologne rubbing on my thigh

New wave hair-dos

I wanna be traveling at speed

Revolving

Passing through, going to the underground

Subway passageway

Delicious

 

Turnstile

Turnstyle

It’s not my way of life

But I’m committed with my hard work

And saving attitude

Time and Time and Time

 

Turnstile

To everything, Turn, Turn, Turn

Around

Rotate

Spin-Dry

Twister

Left foot my bed

 

Turnstile

1635-45

Numbered

Educated

Taught

Experienced

Made me deliver for you

The orange man knows

 

Turnstile

Number six downtown

Mr. Noisy

Mr. Tonight

Ms. Sexy

Ms. Mix

 

Turnstile

Dollar fifty

I’ll write a letter

My time is worth more than three minutes

Of an eighteen-minute session

Because I’ve just been used

 

Turnstile

Turn-around

Brush around

Blush

I blush

See the big vein pop in my forehead

Foreskin

Foresee

For come

Forth

Faith

Filth

God

 

Turnstile

It’s my swagger

A jack-o-lantern

A red ruby lipstick

Purple added

Strawberry

Red down there

Here

 

Turnstile

Imprinted

Stainless steal

Took and stole

Drum beat

Indians

And passion

 

Turnstile

On forever

Turning

Playing

Traveling

Walking-thru

Disease

Trapped

 

Turnstile

Bent

Forward

Death to the maids

The cross-dresser vacuum cleaners

 

Turnstile

I’m bleeding at my side

I took the gun from your bathroom

And now I hold it in front of your face

We hear sirens in the background

I drop to my knees

No

But No

I’m better than you

With a gun pointed at you

You taught me well

But I’m not you
