Leatherette

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Leatherette, Leatherette You took a train to the south Headed for the low light Ready to just hold tight Waiting with your heart in your mouth Singing God loves a trier Fame loves a liar Gotta use and abuse To scrape the sky, Leatherette You haven't made it yet [Verse 2] Leatherette, Leatherette With all your counterfeit pain Swinging like Lolita Serial retweeter As long as it fixes the game Steal like a pro A cheap Monroe Got a small cameo To make your name, Leatherette It hasn't happened yet [Bridge] And if happiness exists Girl it can't be this [Verse 3] Leatherette, Leatherette Makes such a beautiful bruise Your soapbox drama Couldn't quite disarm her You can't make the girl take your cues You've got a slot machine heart Still quoting Descartes While your world falls apart In front of you, Leatherette This is is all you get [Outro] String your life on a wire For the wealthiest buyer While you're lighting more fires To warm your hands, Leatherette Flames don't forget
