Lyrics: Main Event



The title of the album started out as "Faster! Faster!" because the initial concept was momentum and speed, but as the project took shape, the emerging theme became perseverance. The philosophy being that there are more ways to be a winner than coming in first place.

In the song "Main Event", we champion taking responsibility for the navigation of your human emotions by a healthy, proactive form of denial... dancing the blues away. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. I've learned to look at the dark nights, but not to stare.

Main Event [R. Charles / L. Piane]
 
Here we go again, chapter two, turn another page
I'm walking in the rain, paint a smile upon my face

Cause I won't let the spotlight see the heartbreak in my lovelife   
When the laughter starts to fade, all the drama takes center stage

Strike up the band, bang a drum like the beat of my heart
You left before the end, before our story had a chance to start

When you step into the disco, leave your problems at the front door
You know, the world don't have to end, long as the DJ records spin

This is the main event, are you ready 
Just let the music dance into your soul
Faster faster, exhileratin'
Just let the rhythm make you lose control

Until they say last call, or somebody says your name
I'm gonna keep on dancing, I gotta dance away the pain

I won't let love bring me down, you won't see me cryin' on the dance floor
No, I won't let love bring me down, you won't see me cry, you won't see me cry,
Never see me cry, never see me cry...

Children Of The Night

Wayne is right on target here with his mash-up video for "Let's Turn The Night", a track from my new album "Champion". Lucian and I wrote the song during the height of the prop 8 protests here in West Hollywood. aguynamedwayne



Let's Turn The Night [R. Charles / L. Piane]

I don't wanna say, it's much too obvious
Tell it on the mountain, and turn around
I didn't wanna do this, but you won't give it up 
Revel in your haste to put us down but...

When the lights go out, we are the sun
And that's because we know the power of love
We are all one

Turn out the lights, wake up your soul
Let's turn the night into tomorrow 
Wherever we are, ever we go
We are the light, you're never alone

You justify your judgement, who's right who's wrong
Try me by a jury of my peers
We'll be at the disco dancin' to our song
Deep inside the bass we have no fear cause...

And tomorrow belongs to those who believe
It belongs to you and me, shine a light
Let'em see, let'em see

The Perfect Ru



It was quite perfect. We recorded the whole album in Lucian's bedroom,
with his closet serving as the vocal booth.
Just the three of us, Lu, Ru & Gumbo (Lucian's dog).

Sidenote: Part of the reason Mama named me RuPaul was to pay homage to her creole roots.
Creole chefs start with a "roux" as the base for traditional Gumbo.
Mama always said "the best Gumbo starts with the perfect roux."

RuPaul "Champion' will be available for download on Tuesday February 24th.

Lyrics: "Cover Girl"



"COVER GIRL (Put the bass in your walk)"
[R. Charles / L. Piane]

Stroll down the runway, Another payday
Cover of magazines

And when they see me, They wanna be me
I am the fantasy

Covergirl! Put the bass in your walk!
Head to toe! Let your whole body talk!

To Graumann's Chinese, Red carpet TV
Valet my limousine

Box office sweetie, An Oscar nominee
Now watch me snatch trophies

Walk... Now, walk...(and what?)
Pump and bump it
Pump it and bump, bump it
