The first gay man elected to public office in California recalls that sticker on a map, reminding you that You Are Here, walking when they told you you would fall, you would fail, you should be ashamed. But you're here, walking through the fire and the cold, and without a doubt....You Are Here.

TALK IT OUT ON MONDAY NIGHT (Oh baby, baby...)
LET ME DRY YOUR TEARS
DON'T BE SAD I DON'T HAVE PLANS
THINGS AREN'T AS BAD AS THEY APPEAR

WATCH A DOCUMENTARY (Woah)
LOOK, WE'RE JUST THE SAME
IF WE BLANCH WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH
WE'VE ONLY GOT OURSELVES TO BLAME

I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
AND A SUSPICION THAT WE DON'T HAVE LONG
BEFORE THE FUTURE
YOU KNOW I WASN'T MEANT FOR THIS
AND IT'S A HEATWAVE
IN ITS SECOND WEEK
I'VE GOT A FEVER
I SWEATED THROUGH MY SHEET
AND WE SHOULD FACE OUR FEARS FROM TIME TO TI -

- ALK IT OUT THROUGH OPTIC WIRES (Have you missed me at all?)
LET YOUR TEARS DRY
I'M BLAMELESS AS A TROPIC STORM
WE'RE ALL COMPLETELY TERRIFIED

WOOOAAAGGGGHHH!!!! 
AH! OH... OOOH AGH! OH! OOOOHWOAH.
AGGHH!
I WASN'T MEANT FOR THIS...
ARGH! AWWHH! AGH! AGGGHHHHH! O-OH
OOOOOH

WRITE ON STONE OR SERVIETTES (Was a word of it true?)
THIS MUST BE THE PLACE
WE SEEM DIFFERENT THAN LAST NIGHT
I BARELY RECOGNISED YOUR FACE

LOOK AT US WE'RE ALL GROWN UP
FLOATING WHERE IT'S DEEP
WHAT IF I'M YOUR ENEMY
OH HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN ASLEEP?

I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
AND A SUSPICION AND ITS NO LESS STRONG
IT'S GETTING CLOSER
YOU KNOW I WASN'T MEANT FOR THIS
WE'RE IN A NIGHTMARE - I CAN'T GET OUT MY HEAD
YOU KNOW I'M SHO' 'NUFF THAT WE'VE BEEN MISLEAD
WE GOTTA MAKE OR BREAK OR MEDICATE
AHH

(Baby, don't be sad it's over soon I'm sure
Take me to that restaurant we went before
If we walk on water we will surely drown
We can barely stay afloat on solid ground)

Terrified
