Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

 Are we institutionalised

 by the demands of today?

In our regalia

 are we ok?

 Because the flash, of a blade

is one less getting paid

 there in the line

 And the ice, and gold

is just a double code...

 It's a paradigm

For every little thing

 that fashion gives you

 Yeah

 So the Puritan on a morning

 said happy sad melody

 I'm waltzing on an amazing pulse

 in a pornographic sea

 Where the absent blade

is one less in parade

 To throw overboard

 And the ice, and gold

it's just a double code

 It's a metaphor

For every little thing

 that fashion gives you Yeah

 I'm Falling into something

 that plays upon the metronome, in your heart

It's smoke and it's mirrors

 until the auto cue starts

 Then the dry ice comes

and we start sucking our

 thumbs on the TV

 And the joy of people

 spirited away so merrily

is part of every little thing

 that fashion gives you Yeah

(Here we go)

Lalala la lalala la
