Say cheese, baby We all love you It's a cheap world and you don't exist Slit the fabric of the right now Spread your legs and wear the crown Tell me how long, lord, how long? Till I get my beauty sleep? Now the hourglass is empty Moment of my de-sexing Cut it Cut it Cut Cut Cut Cut this cancer from my soul Now I've made it I'm finally naked I'm finally naked Yeah, I made it I'm rarely naked Jon Sebastian Frederiksen - 19th /May /09 Just mail me at Maitinin@gmail.com with questions, comments and corrections!
