show me                                                                               please

dear god                                                                               my god

he can                                                                why

watch                                                               am I

me become the girl his dreams and his girl this girl he’s got

I want to show him a good time good game good girl good aim

accept the terms                 better sit pretty bad girl                mad girl insert

coin to play                         make his story good                        and his penis

hard levels don’t come easy I don’t want to be easy no one wants an easy girl

it’s just a game to him to me it’s palpitating mind bending interactive craving choice and getting

fucked                          over having big dreams of tin toys and matches                       made in

heaven                     knows boxes of americana boys and men played once                  the USA

out of                     save states                                            him and me too                   never

reach                     press A to continue                                   press B to                       forget

           how we are    somehow

          alone and      crowded
