Lyrics

say you wanna live in a dream
but i’d rather you sit here with me
well it could be what you’re needing

so you know you know that its true
that when i’m here i’m thinking of you
well it could be what you’re needing

all dressed up for you
and baby you don’t even have a clue
all the things that i have tried to do
they never seem to get to you

lately you’re gone and its been too long
what’s going wrong
i’m still drawn to you

well are you tired of being alone
its been a while its time to come home
well it could be what you’re needing

all dressed up for you
and baby you don’t even have a clue
all the things that i have tried to do
they never seem to get to you

you told me once that you wanted to go somewhere with me
you told me let’s go lay in the theatre it’s empty

Music Video of the Day: Last Drag by Traci Lords (2011, dir by Zalman King)


Today’s music video of the day was directed by Zalman King, who would have turned 82 years old today.  King started his career as an actor and appeared in some fairly strange films in the 70s but, in the 80s, he reinvented himself as cinema’s number one purveyor of extremely pretentious yet oddly sincere erotica.  

This video came out a year before King’s death in 2012 and everything about it — from the visual style to the star of the show — is easily identifiable as having been done in King’s signature style.
