Death Of A Drag Queen Lyrics

In heaven and made up she felt so cold
the thing she wanted was not hers to own
somebody take me home
somebody take me home

One day she stole him into her dreams
Now behold it a love supreme
Here is a human in unusual form
and finds a mans man
and now love adorns

Here comes the death of a drag queen
The death of a drag queen

Pursed and tragic fully obscene
Funs her man up the lumberjack queen
While someone sits at home
While someone is alone
While someone sits at home
While someone is alone

Death of a Drag Queen

With my murder style it will bring him home, home

Dried blood on make up
and her skin all torn
a resurrection smile
is the last thing she wore
she ain't never goin' home

Death of a Drag Queen

(Evil dances to the sound of a Bosa Nova beat)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

a transvestite falls in love with a man and never tells him she's a he. when he finds out, he freaks out and kills her, and at home her family is waiting for her, but she never comes home. it reminds me of a few television episodes i've seen, like this one from alley mcbeal where a transvestite says he just wants to die pretty and when he does they go into the morgue and put make up on her.

I always thought this song was about Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs.
