Communion Wafers on a Carb-Free Diet


What’s sexy? What's not? What's cool What's hot? Played a game Drew a lot What's sexy, what's new? What’s the shade now? Nerve-end blue! Keep up Fall behind Now you're in, now you're out Don't do this, do that instead Helium skull and plastic head Get outside and stay in bed Now you’re fresh, now you’re lost That is sexy, and this is not Show some skin grow a leg Make yourself the truth Tell some lies change the genes Never let you lose God you're ugly! Look away Don’t waste precious youth It’s your job so do keep up- Born of fruit and flesh Perfuming all your scars and spit Put you on the block You’ve got twelve minutes! Hurry now, The crowd all turns away The colors deep inside your core Fall and fade to grey What’s sexy? What’s not? Take it, take a shot This is in, you are out, good luck some other time You’re only good for a week, Smile lines skincare routine some anti aging cream Yes, we know you fought In the store to be bought But still somehow you’ve caught The sick of loving all that's got Something inside- A heart to rot But that is sexy, this is not
