lyrics

Once there was Mini
who was very skinny
nicknamed the skeleton key
that was because she could fit with an ease
through doors opened slightly
to allow just a breeze

Her mum cried ANOREXIC
it was true she was hectic
as her stomach couldn't bear
to digest more than air
but that was all she had anyway

that was all she had anyway...

But there was something Mini couldn't do
and that was going out when the wind blew
lighter than leaves flying around
she had to find something
to keep her on the ground

Outside she stepped
with stones in her pockets
but the wind was so strong
and her weight was so wrong
and she was blown away
above the deepest of oceans

that was all she had anyway...

When the wind stopped,
she was painfully dropped to the bottom
There she remains, a thin statue of grace
to the bottom
Covered in sea weed that periodically blossoms
to the bottom
