You will not suffocate my heart.
I won't let myself be ripped apart.
I'm taking hold of this game.
And now the rules will never be the same.
Cuz I'm through.
With you.
And your lies.
I despise.
Your cries.

You can not look me in the face.
(You never could, no. That would take a man, so).
Your only honesty is your disgrace.
(If you'd say nothing, that would count for something).
Your nastiness it really used to burn.
(The way you vented--thoroughly demented).
But somewhere something clicked and made me learn.
(Better late than never. Happy now forever).
To say no.
And let go.
It's so sad.
What we had.
Was so bad.
Whoa!

You really think your ignorance is an asset?
Intelligence and thinking must be a threat.
Oh so contented thinking that you know all.
Building yourself by making others feel small.
The great applause the day that you fall.

You will not suffocate my heart.
I won't let myself be ripped apart.
The bitterness and jealousy in you.
So obvious in everything you do.
Well, I'm done.
(This is the end. There's no need to pretend).
Had your fun.
(Was it real good? With all that pain it should).
Now I'm free.
(I'm through with you. There's nothing you can do).
To be me.
(The me you won't know. Curtain down on this show).
And live life.
(My world igniting. Something worth the fighting).
Without strife.
(Life was a mess. Endless mindless stress).
And despair.
(Why would I stay here? Fearful having you near).
I don't care.
(I really can not. No, despite what you thought).
What you say.
(Will fall on deaf ear. Nothing you can say here).
Go away.
(Go through that door and don't come back no more).
Or just die.
(I will not cry. On that I can not lie).
Goodbye.

Ladies and Gentleman, meet your new queen of the night.

Vampire drag queen!
Nothing like you've ever seen.
Come with me and let's escape.
Find some horny necks to rape.

Can't wait to get you in my coffin.
I know some ways to get you off and
Tell you what I'm gonna do.
Lip sync my thirsty teeth in you.

Your veins looks tasty, pulsing fierce.
Just waiting for me teeth to pierce.
I can bite your neck, your chest or fanny.
You know you want to low down with this vampire tranny.

Drag queen vampire!
Work it, and I'll take you higher.
You know it's me you wanna follow.
I suck it good, and I always swallow.

Holy water, cross--so gay!
Uh, what's with the garlic, Rachel Ray?
That Prada bag is oh so fake.
As deadly as a wooden stake.

Being undead's not such a drag.
You're hated less than being a fag.
The work is easy and the hours are fab.
So come a little closer and take a stab.

Vampire drag queen!
Mix it til these beats is mean.
I know you like it rough and savage.
Just like the men we like to ravage.

Come with me into the dark side.
Don't be afraid. There's nothing to hide.
Keep in time from measure to measure.
Cuz you've never ever felt so much decadent pleasure!

True Blood, Buffy and the Twilight gang,
Ms. Elvira gave good fang.
Love Lestat and Blade's cool toys,
And Near Dark and The Lost Boys.
Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee,
Gary Oldman and Barnabas C,
Nosferatu and Salem's Lot,
Frank Langella made it hot!

Drag queen vampire!
Set this funky club on fire.
Sexy music makes you dance.
Suck you til you're in a trance.

Vampire drag queen!
The fiercest bitch to hit the scene.
This hot mess will make you cry.
Use you, lose you, drain you dry.

I LOVE Lady GaGa, so it was a blast creating this parody of her.

Parody music & lyrics: John Raymond Barker

Let's have some yule and canes to lick. I want to take a ride on your peppermint stick.
Let's hang the stocking on the brick. I want to take a ride on your peppermint stick.

Ho-ho-ho-ho-hooo-ho-ho-ho-hooo-ho-ho-ho!
Caught in a Christmas trance
Ho-ho-ho-ho-hooo-ho-ho-ho-hooo-ho-ho-ho!
Caught in a Christmas trance

Fa-la-la-la-la-la!
Fala-Fa-la-la-la!
Fa-la-la-la-la-la!
Want your Christmas trance

Fa-la-la-la-la-la!
Fala-Fa-la-la-la!
Fa-la-la-la-la-la!
Want your Christmas trance

I want your holly
I want your three kings
I want your Santa
I want his cookies.
I want his gut
(Gut-gut-gut I want his gut)

Ho!

I want your tinsel
I want mince meat pie
I want some mistletoe
to kiss a hot guy
I want some lust
Lust-lust-lust
Some Christmas lust

You know that I'm naughty.
And you know that I'm nice.
I'm on your list and you can check it twice.

I want your jingle bells
I want your Grinch
You and me could write a Christmas trance
(Ho-ho-ho--ho-hooo!)

I want your Rudolph
I want your Frosty
You and me could write a Christmas trance

Fa-la-la-la-la-la!
Fala-Fa-la-la-la!
Fa-la-la-la-la-la!
Fa la la
Fa la la la

I want to deck em like they do at North Pole please.
Hark like angels, Christmas spangles, shepherds on their knees.
Sugar plums and small boy drums, White Christmas would be hot.
And then come all ye faithful--silent night is what it's not.

Ho ho ho ho Ho ho ho ho ho ho
I'll send a card
We'll carol a lot

Ho ho ho ho Ho ho ho ho ho ho
A Christmas card
with a bow in a knot

Can't see my! Can't see my! No you can't see my ho ho ho face!
(She's so jolly like no other!)
Can't see my! Can't see my! No you can't see my ho ho ho face!
(She's upsotting like no other)

My ho ho ho ho face! My ho ho ho face!
Fa la la la
My ho ho ho ho face! My ho ho ho face!
Fa la la la

Red jelly beans
Are so delicious
Macy's Elf was so mean
But that photo of us
Oh it cost a price
Ready for those Christmas lights
Cause you Santa Baby I

I'm your nicest fan. I'll follow you
On Twitter give me
Stocking Stocking tchotchkes

Even though I'm newly superstar
I'm begging you please
for Stocking Stocking tchotchkes

Promise to be kind
And I won't stop until that toy is mine.
Slide right down my chimney
Chase you down until you give me
Stocking Stocking tchotchkes

Fa la la la

So many questions
So many choices
Such expectations
From different voices
They're always telling me to just be strong
And carry on

There's so much pressure
From different places
Too much rejection
Indifferent faces
Despite the hope it all just seems so lame
This stupid game

Since as a child I've always had these dreams
But then reality's not what it seems
And I don't know if I possess the skill
To strength my will

This force inside me
It keeps me going
Despite the struggles
And never knowing
If all this time my hopes have been in vain
If life was wasted could I go insane
Do you just view it from a higher plane

Deep down inside I know someday
I'm gonna touch the sky
I'd say it's easy but I can not lie
It's difficult but I'm gonna have to try

Special thanks to Jared R. Pike.

To the homophobes and haters,
To the down low fornicators,
To promoters of misogyny,
And haters of androgyny.

We've got to work together
Dedicated to help each other
Lesbians and straight men and
Gay men and straight women.

Don't know how you stand there preaching hate behind your Bible,
Spreading all those lies, spewing slander, spouting libel.
If Jesus were to come back, I imagine he'd be pissed.
His messages were peace and love, a concept you have missed.

We've got to work together
Dedicated to help each other
Lesbians and straight men and
Gay men and straight women.

Why are people so freaked out by people who are tran?
'Oh my God! Is she/he/it a woman or a man?'
Does it really matter what's between a person's legs?
So obsessed with making all the round holes take square pegs.

We've got to work together
Dedicated to help each other
Lesbians and straight men and
Gay men and straight women.

And there are gays and straights who go on hating the bisexual,
Believing all the stereotypes and fears so ineffectual.
'They're confused!' 'It's so greedy!' 'They're not worthy of your trusting!'
Do you really want to go through life so ignorant and disgusting?

We've got to work together
Dedicated to help each other
Lesbians and straight men and
Gay men and straight women.

Do you have a problem? Do you want to smash my face?
Do you want to beat me so that I will know my place?
Or maybe you'll just kill me--send a message clear and blatant.
You hate me 'cause deep down you know your gayness is so latent.

We've got to work together
Dedicated to help each other
Lesbians and straight men and
Gay men and straight women.

How you would treat yourself is how you should treat others.
You've got to learn to lift up your sisters and your brothers.
Don't give up hope--this hate will never last.
Falls out, decays, becomes ideals of past.

My point's it doesn't matter who you lust and who you love.
It's really no one's business so we need to rise above.
There are certainly bigger problems that are needing our attention.
So stop the hate and educate! This is an intervention!

We've got to work together
Dedicated to help each other
Lesbians and straight men and
Gay men and straight women.

We've got to work together
Dedicated to help each other
Lesbians and straight men and
Gay men and straight women.

Brother Barker speaks to the homosexuals in THEIR language.

Dedicated to Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern and Ted Haggard

Hope, can you handle this?
God, can You handle this?
Jesus, can You handle this?
I don't think they can handle this!
My God is too Jesuslicious for ya, babe!

Get ur Jesus on!
Get ur Jesus on!
Get ur get ur get ur get ur get ur Jesus on!
Get ur Jesus on!
Get ur Jesus on!
Get ur get ur get ur get ur get ur Jesus on!
Tewtiteguoyfiyssupruoysit.
Tewtiteguoyfiyssupruoysit.
I only got 4 minutes to save your soul!
Freaky! Freaky! Freaky!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!

There's something that you should know.
I'm desperate to save your soul.
From a choice that you can not choose.
To be gay is to only lose.

I want you to avoid sin
By lusting after hot men.
If you change then you'll do well
Or else you will go to hell!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!

Is there happiness being a slut?
Feeling guilty after doin the butt?
True bliss is down a woman's pants.
You'll never know til you give it a chance.

I know you think hot twinks are yum
As well as jocks and frat boys dumb.
But you have got to stay away.
On your knees! Pray the gay away!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!

So you like 3ways, check out my Holy Trinity.
Going to Heaven's not just a luxury amenity.
Forget the Bathhouse! Let Jesus wash your feet.
If you're on the downlow, well Jesus is discreet.

So obsessed with muscles and prancing at the gym.
Put down the disco, honey, and memorize a hymn!
Mething at White Party or drunken at the bars.
Partying won't lead you to the castle in the stars!

If you're into leather, bondage, S&M
Check out the crucifixion. It was just like them!
Or maybe it is fashion, drag queens fierce and tranny.
Well, Koreans go to Heaven, too. I'm sure you'll get a manny.

It was God who made the rainbow after floating Noah's arc.
No rainbows or salvation will be found cruising the park.
Those divas may be fabulous. It may be fun to screw.
But give up on that lifestyle. Tell me What Would Jesus Do?

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!

Genesis, Exodus, Ecclesiastes.
My husband parts my legs like Moses parts the seas.
Leviticus, Romans, and 1 Corinthians.
You listen to those verses and you know your lives are sins.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.
The glories of the Bible just go on and on and on
From the Garden of Eden to the Revelation.
I'm gonna spread sweet Jesus all across the nation.
Ladies who are done with lez.
Men who know their life's a mess.
Don't just stand there. Let's get to it.
Pray to Jesus. There's nothing to it.

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
You gotta get down 4 Jesus, baby!
