Thea Gilmore - Leatherette lyrics
[Thea Gilmore - Leatherette lyrics]
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
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
And if happiness exists
Girl it can't be this
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
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
