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
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

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
