New Staple of Fashion

Hand in hand with your demise

It's your passion exercise

Searching still week after week

Become the norm upon the street

Pen shops shut the air goes stale

Try your best not to inhale

Thought police knocking on your door

Only now you can be sure... its a

New staple of fashion... its a

New staple of fashion... its a

New staple of fashion... its a

New staple of fashion

Pity turns another page

The crowd are calling to the stage

Silk woven in your dress

Satin blue and under stress

Pull your corset tight and then

Go for drinks with him again

Sit him down in Sunday best

Show him there's no time to rest... its a

New staple of fashion... its a

New staple of fashion... its a

New staple of fashion... its a

New staple of fashion

And with the catwalk outstretched

And with Paris in check

The Queens will arch towards

Like Marie Antoinette

You'll try and keep your head

When they show you behind the door

New staple of fashion

(Hold your hands over your eye

To the stands you wave and cry)

New staple of fashion

(Curtsy, bow in your skinsuit

Model, sell your bowl of fruit)

New staple of fashion

(Tell your kids the newest trend

Make vulnerable, they play pretend)

New staple of fashion

(And once that's gone the next one comes

Machines will dance while others hum)

You came for the life but you stayed for the fashion
