FKA

Perching, lurking,

Silent as silk, I'm serving,

Flirting with boundaries rebuilt,

No remorse nor shame,

From a corset stained by looks that could kill,

Yet the seated remain.

Excess and glamour, a seventies dream,

I've got a pocket and it's full of seams,

Sequins, velvet, a nod to Prince Rodgers Nelson,

A red carpet built for heels and dresses,

Paved by the Billy Porters and the Jonathan Van Nesses,

And I love it, my platforms keep me above it,

It's been a long, long, long, long time coming,

I'm putting it on, putting it on, putting it on,

It's not shameful to be a woman,

I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman,

I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman.

I'm thrilled you came, could make it,

My frills suggest the same as they entertain,

And play with an outlook that's outdated,

Tainted Love soundscapes my love, I'm in love,

Yet I'm berated by the expression of aggression,

Painted on the faces of spectators,

Icy looks on squeamish red faces,

Sequins hold up a mirror,

Reflecting who the snowflake is and I'll say this,

Regardless I'm feeling elated,

The only way my garment could be elevated,

Would be if Alessandro Michele made it,

It's not shameful to be a woman,

I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman,

I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman.

Excess and glamour, a seventies dream,

I've got a pocket and it's full of seams,

Sequins, velvet, a nod to Prince Rodgers Nelson,

A red carpet built for heels and dresses,

Paved by the Billy Porters and the Jonathan Van Nesses,

And I love it, my platforms keep me above it,

It's been a long, long, long, long time coming,

I'm putting it on, putting it on, putting it on,

It's not shameful to be a woman,

I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman,

I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman.

I'd like to thank you all for coming,

It's important that I address,

That femininity does not make me a woman,

But I'm expressive in my skin,

Thanks to Harris Reed for the beauty of fluidity,

The House of Richard Quinn,

Thanks to Bob Mackie, Bianca Jagger, Mick,

Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen,

Prince, Prince, Prince,

I bow down to you, I thank you all,

It's been a ball.

Excess and glamour, a seventies dream,

I've got a pocket and it's full of seams,

Sequins, velvet, a nod to Prince Rodgers Nelson,

A red carpet built for heels and dresses,

Paved by the Billy Porters and the Jonathan Van Nesses,

And I love it, my platforms keep me above it,

It's been a long, long, long, long time coming,

I'm putting it on, putting it on, putting it on,

It's not shameful to be a woman,

I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman,

I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman.
