Every day I wake up and measure the skin around my waist Is this all I am good for Is this all I am good for Every night before I go to bed I look in the mirror and I say Is this all I am good for Is this all I am good for You have a soft spot for my soft spots confer some softness upon My heart, mind, I wish to be present My desire to trust that I have a thirst And maybe no one can quench it I watch Nick Cave's long legs and their steps Stoke my anxieties I will never be a stonish dogman with an ever-darkening voice I am bright and awful, garish and young And trying to be coarse and dexterous And something I'm not Keep it low, keep it low, keep it low I just go, I just go, I just go I just go, I just go, I just go I just go, I just go Every day I wake up and measure the skin around my waist Is this all I am good for Is this all I am good for Every night I go to bed and imagine the way that you would taste If I knew what I was good for If I knew what I was good for I know You say that I'm crazy, but I cannot help it I've been inculcated, my strengths are conflated With your sense of hatred Despite all your statements, despite your complaisance I was an athlete before I had legs And I rang to go with it before I could sense Because that was what was expected of me Be the child the world would give them Money and the love I learned not to trust All I do now is measure up Every day I wake up and measure the skin around my waist Is this all I am good for Is this all I am good for Every night before I go to bed I look in the mirror and I say Do I know what I am good for Do I know what I am good for Every day I wake up and measure the skin around my waist Is this all I am good for Is this all I am good for Every night before I go to bed I look in the mirror and I say Do I know what I am good for Do I know what I am good for Do I know You have a soft spot for my soft spots You have a soft spot for my soft spots Every day I wake up Every day I wake up Am I good for Am I good for You You And me And me
