In Denial (Duet with the Pet Shop Boys)
[Night Life (PSB)]
Tenant/Lowe

In denial oh no
My life’s a trial
I’m not denying
That every little bit hurts
It’s a problem
That I’m not solving
Don’t mind admitting
I feel like quitting this job
For a while
Getting away
Before it gets any worse today

You’re in denial
And that is final
You’re not admitting
You should be quitting all these
Queens and fairies
And muscle Mary’s
The rough trade boyfriend
Who in his pathetic own way
Denies he’s gay
Why can’t he see?
This is a fantasy world

I think I’m going mad
How d’you know if you’re going mad?
Look at me I’m lonely
Look at me I’m sad

I’m not denying
I could be trying
A little harder
To deal with some of this stuff
Know what I’m thinking
Less drugs and drinking
No cigarettes and you’ll feel a little less worth
Is that enough?
My life is absurd
I’m living it upside down
Like a vampire waking at night
Sleeping all day
A dad with a girl who knows he’s gay
Could you love me anyway?
