[00:00.99]Everything is food, everything is fair game
[00:05.39]The second it’s gone is the second I crave
[00:09.14]more animal, vegetable, mineral feed
[00:12.85]more fodder, more fuel, more cake and ice cream
[00:16.98]In Scythia, where the pickings are slim
[00:21.10]
[00:21.79]I’m gorgeous and grateful it’s “in” to be thin
[00:25.86]Wan and pale, I court emaciation
[00:28.68]in high style and endless mastication
[00:35.89]With cheekbones and ribs that tighten my skin
[00:39.90]wildly attractive and seductive as sin
[00:44.48]the closer you come, the more you want me
[00:49.83]
[00:51.07]the more you want, the more you want to be free
[00:53.51]There’s no slaking of thirst, no quenching of need
[00:58.28]and there’s never, ever enough to eat
[01:05.05]
[01:19.92]When the Gods get even They think of me
[01:24.24]While you’re fast asleep to your bed I creep
[01:27.10]As my breath you breathe as I give you a kiss
[01:32.26]As I take my leave I leave you with this
[01:36.21]As you wake so you dream of fish fowl and beef
[01:40.60]And there’s never ever enough to eat
[01:46.27]
[01:52.98]Where inherited wealth meets fine French cuisine
[01:57.49]Where oodles of truffles and tarts and terrines
[02:01.06]Where gavage is an art and foie gras is fatty
[02:05.69]Where quail duck lamb sugar butter and spaghetti
[02:09.92]There desire is infectious and fulfillment is lean
[02:13.62]And there’s never ever enough to eat
[02:19.08]
[03:32.09]does an ocean deny a river
[03:34.22]would a fire spurn the wood it craves
[03:38.06]for heat
[03:40.18]like Narcissus and his lover
[03:41.80]you can never have the other
[03:44.81]you can never turn away
[03:46.57]you can never lick the plate
[03:48.95]clean
[03:51.33]
[04:01.07]When the coffers are empty in lieu of defeat
[04:05.45]I deal my daughter for camembert cheese
[04:09.21]Here the story leaves me to my own device
[04:13.55]As lips teeth tongue savor self sacrifice
[04:17.62]And now the Hunter is prey and the Hungry are meat
[04:21.77]And there’s never ever enough to eat
