Текст песни: Goddamn HIV + перевод

My name is Michael Joe Alexandre

I’ve been a queer since the day I was born

My family, they don’t say much to me

My heart knows their silence has scorn

My friends have been dying, all my best friends are dead

I walk around these days, with their picture in my head

Spending my time thinking 'bout some things they said

And I don’t know what’s happening to me, goddamn HIV

And I don’t know what all of this means

I don’t think it means what it seems

We used to party all night 'til the dawn

I can still see the boys with their tight leather on

In the downtown bars, where it always is night

I can hang with my friends and feel alright

I was 30 years old when the sickness first came

And it rode through my world like a wind-driven flame

Leaving ashes, memories, funerals, and pain

And I don’t know what’s happening to me, goddamn HIV

And I don’t know what all this means

I don’t think it means what it seems

When I was a boy, I’d get scared late at night

And my momma would come, and turn on the light

But there’s nobody here with me tonight

And I don’t know what’s happening to me

Sometimes at dusk, I walk the train tracks

And I walk and I walk like I ain’t coming back

I look at the sky so endless and black

Man I swear it’s swallowing me

Goddamn HIV
