Do Your Time On The Planet – Lime

Do your time on the planet
Just like in the movies
It’s just the big show
Have the time of your life
But don’t be too choosy
It’s not so serious
Wear your sweet silver jacket
Put on all your goodies
Before it’s too late
Do your time on the planet
Just like in the movies
It’s just the big show, baby

I can’t see no complication
Never had a broken heart
Don’t rely on superstition
‘Cause I know the part, uh-huh

Do your time on the planet
Just like in the movies
It’s just the big show
Have the time of your life
But don’t be too choosy
It’s not so serious
Wear your sweet silver jacket
Put on all your goodies
Before it’s too late
Do your time on the planet
Just like in the movies
It’s just the big show, baby

I don’t need no first-class ticket
When I’m in my dancing shoes
When I’m out and getting with it
I don’t have nothing to lose

Do your time on the planet
Just like in the movies
It’s just the big show
Have the time of your life
But don’t be too choosy
It’s not so serious
Wear your sweet silver jacket
Put on all your goodies
Before it’s too late
Do your time on the planet
Just like in the movies
It’s just the big show, baby

I don’t care if it’s make-believe
When the true heart’s drew its dream
It make me reach out to believe
Every moment feels so true

July 12, 1992

Randomly found this on the NYT archive machine thingie. Bill Cunningham pictures weren’t meant to last I guess? Ephemera. Good drag name. Faded and wrinkled, very fragile, so cheap and most people just trashed her the next day. Ephemera. I used to see her at Kinko’s a lot.

Jim Baily Was All of Them

Because I’m old I am posting this so that you can make your kids watch it then explain who the people were that he impersonated. They wont care.

Tickets are available now for Joey Arias along with Brandon Seabrook, Tony Mason and Eliot Douglass at Joe’s Pub August 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th. I saw Joey and friends recently and it seemed like the first time for me. Joey is pure magnetic entertainment and moves megawatts of energies around the room. The show is three New York City artists at their best. Do yourself a favor and get some tickets in advance. You will be amused, entertained and touched by the work of these seasoned greats. Be ready for an energy zap. I caught a few.
