( Idaho Republican Senator Larry Craig song lyrics )
I WASN'T MAKING ADVANCES
Copyright © 2007 - mickterry.com

6/8
1: I wasn't making advances, didn't know that my feet
could have strayed where that man says to his lilywhite seat,
had crossed over some fine line, wandered under that wall,
to be caught on the wrong side of that cold restroom stall.

2: I wasn't making advances, I was groping to find
'nother roll of T-paper: running empty in mine,
thinking that stall was empty. No, this wasn't some tryst.
I was startled supremely, getting 'cuffs on my wrists.

BRIDGE:
So long-, I can kiss my career goodbye-.
So wrong-. And it's gone in the bat of an eye-.

3: I wasn't making advances, unaware that my moves
were the signals and stances that somebody might do
if he's looking for action of a scandalous kind.
So you must have your facts wrong. Those intentions weren't mine.

4: I wasn't making advances. It is all a mistake.
I just mind my own bus'ness. And besides, I'm not gay.
Disregard that confession. I was under duress.
Now, my only admission: it's one hell of a mess.

CODA:
The last time I ever reach out and touch someone ...

8-8-07:
Idaho Republican Senator Larry Craig was arrested,
pleaded guilty & paid $500 fine to charges of lewd conduct
in a Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport men's room.
He later recanted, claiming that he is not gay & that it was
all a misunderstanding, filing to change his guilty plea,
& reversing statements that he would step down from being Senator.
