Why must you turn everything beautiful uglynAnd anything ugly so hideous?nWhy would you put your freedom above menWhen you know it leaves nothing between us?nnHave you discovered a new disciplinenAt last within your reach?nIs your cure a bed and a womannOr do you prefer to be bled by a leach?nnWhy would you trade your silver for base tokensnAnd your tokens for cheap carnival rides?nWhy would you leave a desire unspokennWhen there are so many worthless things to hide?nnWill you dissolve your new snowflakenOn the tip of your yellow tonguenOr will she stumble out of a cakenTo be eaten by your thumb?nnWhy must you always search for a vacancynIn every hotel life you brush against?nWhy must the faithless trumpet their decencynFrom a plateau of intolerance?nnWill you ever tire of digesting the fleshnLong enough to investigate the soul?nOr are you like the amnesiac goldfishnAlways surprised to find yourself in a bowl?
