Days since I last pissed, cheeks sunken and despaired
So gorgeous, sunk to six stone, lose my only remaining home
See my third rib appear, a week later all my flesh disappears
Stretching taut, cling-film on bone, I'm getting better
Karen says I've reached my target weight
Kate and Emma and Kristin know it's fake
Problem is diet's not a big enough word
I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view
I want to walk in the snow
And not leave a footprint
I want to walk in the snow
And not soil its purity
Stomach collapsed at five, lift up my skirt my sex is gone
Naked and lovely and 5st. 2, may I bud and never flower
My vision's getting blurred but I can see my ribs and I feel fine
My hands are trembling stalks and I can feel my breasts are sinking
Mother tries to choke me with roast beef
And sits savouring her sole Ryvita
"That's the way you're built", my father said
But I can change, my cocoon shedding
I want to walk in the snow
And not leave a footprint
I want to walk in the snow
And not soil its purity
So gorgeous, sunk to six stone, lose my only remaining home
See my third rib appear, a week later all my flesh disappears
Stretching taut, cling-film on bone, I'm getting better
Karen says I've reached my target weight
Kate and Emma and Kristin know it's fake
Problem is diet's not a big enough word
I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view
I want to walk in the snow
And not leave a footprint
I want to walk in the snow
And not soil its purity
Stomach collapsed at five, lift up my skirt my sex is gone
Naked and lovely and 5st. 2, may I bud and never flower
My vision's getting blurred but I can see my ribs and I feel fine

And not leave a footprint
I want to walk in the snow
