is this all I am good for?

Everyday I wake up
 And measure the skin around my waist
 Is this all I am good for?
 Is this all I am good for?
 Every night before I go to bed
 I look in the mirror and I say
 Is this all I am good for?
 Is this all I am good for?
 You have a soft spot for my soft spots
 Confer some softness upon my hard mind
 I wish to be present, my desire deters that
 I have a thirst and maybe no one can quench it
 I watched Nick Cave's long legs and their steps stoked my anxieties
 I will never be a swannish dark man with an ever darkening voice
 I am bright and awful, garish and young
 And trying to be coarse and dexterous and something I'm not
 Keep it low, keep it low, keep it low
 I just go, I just go, I just go
 I just go, I just go
 I just go, I just go, I just go
 And everyday I wake up
 And measure the skin around my waist
 Is this all I am good for?
 Is this all I am good for?
 Every night I go to bed
 And imagine the way that you would taste
 If I knew what I was good for
 If I knew what I was good for
 I know, I know, I know, I know you say that I'm crazy
 But I cannot help it, I've been inculcated
 My strengths are conflated with dross and self-hatred
 Despite all your statements, despite your complaisance
 I was an athlete before I had legs
 And a brain to go with it before I could sense
 Because that was what was expected of me
 Be the child the world will give their money
 And the love I learnt not to trust
 All I do now is measure up
 Everyday I wake up
 And measure the skin around my waist
 Is this all I am good for?
 Is this all I am good for?
 Every night before I go to bed
 I look in the mirror and I say
 Do I know what I am good for?
 Do I know what I am good for?
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ahh, ahh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ahh, ahh
 Everyday I wake up
 And measure the skin around my waist
 Is this all I am good for? (Is this all I am good for?)
 Is this all I am good for? (Is this all I am good for?)
 Every night before I go to bed (Every night before I go to bed)
 I wonder if I will change (I wonder if I will change)
 Will I know what I'm good for? (Will I know what I'm good for?)
 Will I know what I'm good for? (Will I know what I'm good for?)
 You have a soft spot for my soft spots
 You have a soft spot for my soft spots
 Everyday I wake up
 Everyday I wake up
 What am I good for?
 What am I good for?
 You, you
 And me, and me
