You and me
We have seen these things
There's a demon here
at the table
If that's how you are
If that's how you are
Yeah me and you
Through hell we grew
There's an angel too
I can see right through
That's who you are
That's who you are
And Oh! The lives of their ghosts
they're just seeping in through key holes
They won't vie for love anymore
They won't vie for love
We're just two dumb kids on a rocket ship
We're a world away from what we're fighting for
And when we die we will see these things
It'll be too late - we'll be out in space
We won't vie for love anymore
We won't vie for love
We're just two dumb kids on a rocket ship
We're a world away from what we're fighting for
And when we die we will see these things
It'll be too late - we'll be out in space
We won't vie for love anymore
We won't vie for love anymore
We won’t vie for love anymore

2 for 1
she
said to me today
she said
“I’m so smooth, drinks
On me—I just got paid”
And now she’s crying a bottle of vodka
And no she won’t stop
Singin up in my ear
I fell in love with a Georgia Strawberry
(Can I get a nurse?)
I can hear the pills
Shakin’ all up in her purse
She said it calms me down
I just wanna be nice
But a sharp knife
Is the best friend
Of serial killers and housewives
Unzip my file
By the billiard table
A cheap photo
Shoot by the jukebox
One for the road
You know the barcode baby
But later I’ll watch you go home with another lady…
(Can I get a nurse?)
If you got thick skin,
No one will know when you're ripe.
When you started this story
I just knew you were lying
Because that man you said that you loved
Is textin’ me now
I fell in love with a Georgia strawberry
(Can I get a nurse?)

Jay Thomas Miami, Florida
Jay Thomas writes sensual music with beats and string arrangements that evoke fantasy and escapism, while addressing grief,
trauma, and human rights. His androgynous voice travels from gentle and soothing to coarse and raw in primal chants.
“Moody. Nostalgic. Dreamy. Fantasy-like.
In other words: hard to put in a box.”
- South Florida Gay News
Knight New Work 2020 Winner
