Binge And Purge
Lunachicks Lyrics

Binge and purge
The act of eating a lot followed by inducing vomiting or taking laxatives

Can't have an inch of fat on my bod
I need to be thin to make it to the cheerleading squad

Gotta get on the cheerleading squad
I want to be part of the cheerleading team to impress a guy

Play try-outs are next week
The cheerleading try-outs are scheduled for next week and I need to prepare

There's a foxy guy I gotta meet
I want to impress a good-looking guy by being thin and a cheerleader

Mom won't let me eat too much
My mom restricts my food intake to keep me from getting fat

But in my room I go and stuff
I eat a lot of food secretly in my room

Ipecac and ex-lax are my best friends
I use ipecac and ex-lax to induce vomiting and bowel movement

Gonna have my head in the toilet 'til the end
I'll keep vomiting until there's nothing left in my stomach

Fingers just not long enough
My fingers are not enough to induce vomiting and I need to use ipecac

This time the purge is gonna be tough
Getting rid of all the food I ate will be difficult and may cause pain

People tell me that I'm thin
Others comment on my weight and tell me that I'm thin

Then they ask about the bruise on my chin
Others notice my facial bruise and ask about it

When I'm home I eat as much as I can
When I'm alone, I eat a lot of food without anyone seeing me

Pretty soon I'll need a bedpan
I'll keep eating and purging until it affects my bodily functions

No guys like me 'cept for 'lax
I don't have any male friends except for ex-lax

But he's my ex
Even though I consider ex-lax as a friend, he's no longer part of my life

I threw up on mom's good shoes
I vomited on my mom's nice shoes due to my binge and purge behavior

I made a mess in the school bathroom
I vomited in the school bathroom and made a mess

Someone's bound to catch me soon
I'm aware that my behavior will be discovered eventually by someone

Mom found me on the floor
My mom saw me collapse on the floor due to my eating disorder

Blood stains on my Christian Dior
My vomit had blood in it and stained my expensive clothes

Now I'm in the hospital
I had to be hospitalized due to my condition

They feed me from a bag on the wall
I can't eat normally and need to be fed through a tube

Me and my friends do it all together
My friends and I have the same eating disorder and purge together

Circle purge will make it better
We think that purging in a circle will help us cope and make us feel better

Ruptured my esophagus
My excessive vomiting caused damage to my esophagus

But I'm still a hippopotamus
Even though I'm thin, I still feel fat and unattractive

Just can't seem to figure out
I'm unable to understand why I have this disorder

Why my teeth keep falling out
My purging behavior is causing damage to my teeth and they keep falling out
