Water thin
The wall is in
Shes chlorine clean and portion fed
Feed the dog
Slop the hog
Shine the baptist and debark the log
Its all right, I know
Youre the only one who can
Show us at all
Get it done
Circulate
What I hear, fear motivates
So intense
So sensitive
In your head where fashion lives
Its all right, I know
Youre the only one who can
Show us at all
Its ok, I know
Youre mean and hard and bored
Its always something
