He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties but GRAVITY always wins and it wears him out. She looks like the real thing. She tastes like the real thing, my fake plastic love. But I Can't Help The Feeling. I Could Blow Through The Ceiling. If I Just Turn And RUN.and it wears me out if i could be who you wanted all the time.. bones I don't wannt a be krippled kracked shoulders wrists knees and back ground to dust and ash crawling on all fours. when you've got to feel it in your bones.
