Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Days since I last pissed Cheeks sunken, and despair So gorgeous, sunk to six stone Lose my only remaining home See my third rib appear, a week later All my flesh disappears Stretching taut, cling-film on bone I'm getting better [Pre-Chorus] Karen says I've reached my target weight Kate, and Emma, and Kristin know it's fake Problem is diet's not a big enough word! I wanna be so skinny That I rot from view [Chorus] I, I, I, I, I wanna walk in the snow And not leave a footprint I, I, I, I, I want to walk in the snow And not soil its purity [Instrumental Interlude/ Guitar solo] [Verse 2] Stomach collapsed at five Lift up my skirt - my sex is gone Naked and lovely, I'm 5st 2 - May I bud and never flower I feel my rib appears, but [?] I feel fine! My hands are trembling stalks But I can see my breasts are sinking! [Pre-Chorus] Mother tries to choke me with roast beef And sits savouring her sole Ryvitta "That's the way you're built!" My father says But I can change- My cocoon's shedding! [Chorus] I, I, I, I, I wanna walk in the snow And not leave a- footprint I, I, I, I, I want to walk in the snow And not soil its purity [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro] Kate, and Kristin, and KitKat: All things I like looking at Too weak to fuss, too weak to die- Choice is skeletal in everybodies life I choose my choice, I starve to this frenzy Hunger soon passes, and sickness soon tries Legs bend, stocking I am Twiggy And I don't mind the horror that surrounds me Self-worth scatters, self-esteem's a bore I've long-since moved to a higher plataeu This dicipline's so rare so please applaud Just look at the fat scum who pamper me so! Yeah, 4st 7 An epilogue of youth Such beautiful dignity in self-abuse I've finally come to understand my life Through staring blankly at/out my navel
