Lost in the Middle
My parents call me 'he'
And my girlfriend calls me 'she'
And my shrink, she asked me
If I was a lesbian
I don't know what to say
How am I supposed to make a single
Choice that will convey my state
To everyone? It can't be done
Walking through the city
Wishing, dreaming to be pretty
Until I think of all the shit
That's done to girls
Then I think I'm lucky
I can spend my whole life bluffing
Then I hate my hypocritical
Failure to affirm... It's so absurd
Could it be worse?
Lost in the middle
Locked in a place
Where no one wants to be
Stuck between being Chuck and Colleen
Just sucks!
When I'm folding clothes
At the laundromat, who knows
What's going through the minds of
All the other folks in there?
I doubt that they would care
At least I hope that they don't care
But where I live opinions might not always
Be real fair... Sometimes I'm scared
Lost in the middle
Locked in a place
Where no one wants to be
Stuck between being Chuck and Colleen
Just sucks!
I had a dream where people seemed
To see things much more openly
I hope that one day soon this will
Be true and songs like this will not exist
And people everywhere
Forever will cry out with joy, "We're out!"
And in that perfect world... no on would care
Shopping at the mall
Looking in the stores at all the stuff
I'm way too shy to ever try
It makes me scream
Though I think I should be stronger
It still somehow feels improper...
After all that time in hiding
Will I ever really be free?
Lost in the middle
Locked in a place
Where no one wants to be
Stuck between being Chuck and Colleen
Just...
Lost in the middle
Locked in a place
Where no one wants to be
Stuck between being Chuck and Colleen
Just...
Lost in the middle
Locked in a place
Where no one wants to be
Stuck between being Chuck and Colleen
Just sucks!
And my girlfriend calls me 'she'
And my shrink, she asked me
If I was a lesbian
I don't know what to say
How am I supposed to make a single
Choice that will convey my state
To everyone? It can't be done
Walking through the city
Wishing, dreaming to be pretty
Until I think of all the shit
That's done to girls
Then I think I'm lucky
I can spend my whole life bluffing
Then I hate my hypocritical
Failure to affirm... It's so absurd
Could it be worse?
Lost in the middle
Locked in a place
Where no one wants to be
Stuck between being Chuck and Colleen
Just sucks!

Lost in the middle
Locked in a place
Where no one wants to be
Stuck between being Chuck and Colleen
Just...
Lost in the middle
Locked in a place
Where no one wants to be
Stuck between being Chuck and Colleen
Just sucks!
