Intro
D# A# x2
D#
Are we institutionalised
A#
by the demands of today?
D#
In our regalia
A#
are we ok?
Gm
Because the flash, of a blade
is one less getting paid
A#
there in the line
Gm
And the ice, and gold
is just a double code...
A#
It's a paradigm
For every little thing
D# (distorsion guitar here)
that fashion gives you
A#
Yeah
D# A#
D#
So the Puritan on a morning
A#
said happy sad melody
D#
I'm waltzing on an amazing pulse
A#
in a pornographic sea
Gm
Where the absent blade
is one less in parade
A#
To throw overboard
Gm
And the ice, and gold
it's just a double code
A#
It's a metaphor
For every little thing
D# (distorsion guitar again) A#
that fashion gives you Yeah
Cm A#
D#
I'm Falling into something
A#
that plays upon the metronome, in your heart
D#
It's smoke and it's mirrors
A#
until the auto cue starts
Gm
Then the dry ice comes
and we start sucking our
A#
thumbs on the TV
Gm
And the joy of people
A#
spirited away so merrily
is part of every little thing
D# (dist. guitar) A#
that fashion gives you Yeah
D# A#
