Strip Search



It's time to do a strip search upon our very selves.
Find out what is concealed
upon subconscious shelves.
It's time to do a strip search upon our stonewall stunts.
Find out what is concealed
upon subconscious fronts.
It's time to do a strip search upon our motive spurs.
Find out what is concealed
upon subconscious whirrs.
It's time to do a strip search upon our visage guise.
Find out what is concealed
upon subconscious lies.
It's time to do a strip search upon our memory trace.
Find out what is concealed
upon subconscious space.
It's time to do a strip search upon our outer shells.
Find out what is concealed
upon subconscious hells.
