The Body Snatchers
Okay, who stole my body
I had when I was young
It was never in the best of shape
But far better than this one
Semi smooth and silky
Not a wrinkle on the lot
I feel I fell asleep for a century
And this is how I ended up
I now have wrinkles on top of wrinkles
With wrinkles on top of that
Could someone point me in the direction
Of where my body could have been left
It had fingers that worked without aching
Steady hands that knew not of shaking
A memory that...I'll get back with you on that
And a face you wouldn't mind dating
My body had knees that were noiseless
A smile that wasn't so toothless
A libido that you could rely on
Instead of the one I now have that is useless
My other eyes were filled with wonder
Not these made dull and steely gray
If anyone has seem my body
Could you kindly point me in the way
