Energy

Mother and Child,
I’m such a man for a short while…
Promises be,
The world just spins faster than me…
-(Come on, come on, come on) —
And all of your friends are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends I hope are listening
I wish you’d stop wasting all my energy
Beauty or beast? (Beauty or beast?)
Which Character am I to be?
I’m now powdering (I'm now powdering)
All the make-up that makes me
-(Come on, come on, come on) —
(alt: «wasting = sucking»)
-(You got it, you got it… Come on) —
-(Energy, energy, energy, energy, ahh)
-I wish you’d stop wasting all my energy (-repeat)
