An immediate reaction to disbelief,
Sewn up, switched off,
You followed suit, hemmed in at the seam,
But you're still...
Scratching an itch to relieve,
(The youthful charm that's unclean)
Pin in a groove spinning to compete
(With a youthful charm that's unclean)
Reformat, make sure it's all erased,
You should break away, no need to stay chaste,
But you're still...
Scratching an itch to relieve,
(The youthful charm that's unclean)
Pin in a groove spinning to compete
(With a youthful charm that's unclean)
Discard your skin to reveal,
(The youthful charm that's unclean,
Cast aside all your means)
In pursuit of the surreal,
(Running back to your teens,
With a youthful charm that's unclean)
