| [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 |
| [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 |
