FRAILTY - Dreamgirl and the Motorist
(c) and (p) Dreamgirl and the Motorist 2004
You look like death
Standing there on the edge
You with your sunken eyes
You with your thin thighs
You looked up at me
But didn't see what I could see
You on the edge
You on the edge
Frailty
It started in your mind
Now it drags you down all the time
Eyes are playing tricks
Making you feel sick
Still I see you walking everyday
Your body barely able to hold your frailty
You can no longer see
Your own frailty
Frailty
Take those magazines off the shelf
They're no good for the health
Put realism on TV
Not unreachable images of how we should be
Wake up and be responsible
For impressionable minds that you've moulded
And who've stopped eating to die
I wonder who you are
And if you've got anyone to tell you
You've gone too far
You can no longer see
Your own frailty
Frailty
