Hey, I’m gonna ask politely,
As kindly as I possibly can,
In a way that there’s no way you’ll say no,
“Could you help me take my skin off?”
My hollow bones are too wet,
And my pink flesh is too tight,
If I had the strength I’d do it myself,
But it’s easier when you’ve got a friend.

Pull it all off,
I want to be,
A skeletal system,
Making its way down Main Street.

Now I’m getting greedy,
It’s day two, you helped put it back on,
I think I need you again, friend,
Is this an addiction?
No I don’t think so cause I’ve got my head still,
Do you mind taking my head off?
Disconnect.
.

I’m emotionally detached,
And also exhausted,
Cause you’re an oil tycoon,
Draining all my energy and blood,
It’s funny for you to see me die again.
