Everything is food everything is fair game[00:00:00]

The second it’s gone is the second I crave[00:00:05]

More animal vegetable mineral feed[00:00:09]

More fodder more fuel more cake and ice cream[00:00:12]

In Scythia where the pickings are slim[00:00:16]

I’m gorgeous and grateful it’s “in” to be thin[00:00:21]

Wan and pale I court emaciation[00:00:25]

In high style and endless mastication[00:00:28]

With cheekbones and ribs that tighten my skin[00:00:35]

Wildly attractive and seductive as sin[00:00:39]

The closer you come the more you want me[00:00:44]

The more you want the more you want to be free[00:00:51]

There’s no slaking of thirst no quenching of need[00:00:53]

And there’s never ever enough to eat[00:00:58]

When the Gods get even They think of me[00:01:19]

While you’re fast asleep to your bed I creep[00:01:24]

As my breath you breathe as I give you a kiss[00:01:27]

As I take my leave I leave you with this[00:01:32]

As you wake so you dream of fish fowl and beef[00:01:36]

And there’s never ever enough to eat[00:01:40]

Where inherited wealth meets fine French cuisine[00:01:52]

Where oodles of truffles and tarts and terrines[00:01:57]

Where gavage is an art and foie gras is fatty[00:02:01]

Where quail duck lamb sugar butter and spaghetti[00:02:05]

There desire is infectious and fulfillment is lean[00:02:09]

And there’s never ever enough to eat[00:02:13]

Does an ocean deny a river[00:03:32]

Would a fire spurn the wood it craves[00:03:34]

For heat[00:03:38]

Like Narcissus and his lover[00:03:40]

You can never have the other[00:03:41]

You can never turn away[00:03:44]

You can never lick the plate[00:03:46]

Clean[00:03:48]

When the coffers are empty in lieu of defeat[00:04:01]

I deal my daughter for camembert cheese[00:04:05]

Here the story leaves me to my own device[00:04:09]

As lips teeth tongue savor self sacrifice[00:04:13]

And now the Hunter is prey and the Hungry are meat[00:04:17]

And there’s never ever enough to eat[00:04:21]
