about

From NATHAN C. JONES. What started as a goofy story about a gay stalker who commits a murder turned into something deeper and more relevant as we worked on it. Lyrics by me and Vanessa Stewart, music by me. Vanessa came up with the concept and outline for the whole (twisted and funny) show.

lyrics

so the day just could not have been better
it started [out] so normal and fine
I put on my favorite sweater
calmed down with three glasses of my favorite wine
and I waited with admirable patience
for Chad to show up for our date
then, there he was, wearing the very same sweater as me!
And I knew it was fate.

that went great,
that went grand,
he likes polyester too!
he showed up
like I planned
and he did all the things that I hoped he would do!
I don't care
I don't mind
that he showed up extremely late
the important thing is the date and that went great.

So I tagged along to the library.
A very "first date" thing to do.
I'm not really much of a "library fairy"
but if Chad's going there, well then, I'll go there too.
“And boy, we’ve got so much in common!”-
I thought as he picked up some books.
The librarians must have been jealous of me and my man
I saw several giving me looks. But:

he likes reading, and I like to watch!
he likes old novels and I like reruns!
he likes Fitzgerald, I like scotch!
he likes [Ernest] Hemingway and I like [shot]guns!
he likes sports writing, and I like jocks!
he likes Gandhi, and I lost weight!
he likes Capote, and I like cocks!
he's just like me!

That went great!
That went swell!
He’s my favorite kind of a guy!
We just fit
so darn well,
I’m so hopeful, I think I could cry!
as I lurked
in the stacks
resisting the urge to masturbate,
I thought to myself, this is promising and great.

And it ended so wonderfully happy
as I trailed Chad onto the train.
I feel so deliciously sappy
Like someone poured syrup all over my brain
But the moment I'll treasure forever,
the one that makes the memory complete
is the first time that Chad opened up and then spoke right to me,
and said (spoken) "hey man, you need a seat?"

That went great!
That was sweet!
Warmed my heart, I will admit.
Busy train,
not much room,
but he gave me his place to sit!
Now I'm sure
there's no doubt,
he could be my lifelong mate!
he's generous, kind, and good-looking and wise,
he's bookish and shy and he's got lovely eyes,
and he clearly chose me out of all of the guys
and he got off the train at the very next station
and I waved goodbye, overcome with elation
and now I am brimming with anticipation
for our next date,
because the first one
went
great.
