A Caricature of Myself
I GOT UP THIS MORNING AND WENT BACK TO SLEEP
"FIVE MORE MINUTES" TURNS INTO AN HOUR
INTO THE HALL OF INTERCHANGEABLE HEADS
I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE I PUT MY ORIGINAL HEAD
I was content to be invisible
But I'm so spoiled with wealth
A caricature of myself
They turned me into bullet points, an ideology
Distilled into an image, reproduced commercially
I was okay with anonymity
But now I'm just a bust on someone's shelf
A caricature of myself
There's a real human person
Behind the clown makeup
Behind the Spitting Image puppet
It's been so long since I've seen him
This makeup is a tattoo
This plaster mold is welded on
YOU ONLY LOVE ME FOR MY BODY
YOU ONLY LOVE ME FOR MY FACIAL FEATURES
YOU ONLY LOVE ME FOR MY PERSONALITY
YOU ONLY LOVE ME FOR MY MONEY
MAYBE I'LL BUY A BRAND NEW BODY
PUT A NEW FACE ON ONE OF THE OLD ONES
BE EFFERVESCENT INSTEAD OF MOODY
AND I NEVER HAD ANY MONEY TO BEGIN WITH (SO THERE)
"FIVE MORE MINUTES" TURNS INTO AN HOUR
INTO THE HALL OF INTERCHANGEABLE HEADS
I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE I PUT MY ORIGINAL HEAD
I was content to be invisible
But I'm so spoiled with wealth
A caricature of myself

Distilled into an image, reproduced commercially
I was okay with anonymity
But now I'm just a bust on someone's shelf

It's been so long since I've seen him

YOU ONLY LOVE ME FOR MY BODY
YOU ONLY LOVE ME FOR MY FACIAL FEATURES
YOU ONLY LOVE ME FOR MY PERSONALITY
YOU ONLY LOVE ME FOR MY MONEY

BE EFFERVESCENT INSTEAD OF MOODY
AND I NEVER HAD ANY MONEY TO BEGIN WITH (SO THERE)
