Lyrics

Look at all these kids in these cardigans And their ballet flats, and their heroin And their moon-white hair, and their pale skin Everyone is looking just a little too thin I can dance with you at the block party And kiss your perfect smile and your crooked teeth Circles around your eyes make it hard to see When they're reflecting all the glitter on your sunken cheeks Tu-dum Tu-tu-dum Tu-tu-dum Tu-tu-dum I saw Karen O. and her perfect bangs So I tried to cut my hair so it would look the same Manic Panic advertisement was to blame Died it blue then red, and then black again Do you like me now, do you like this cut? I can go and make it shorter if you really want I can be whatever for a little bit of love If it makes you happy, I will come undone Tu-dum Tu-tu-dum Tu-tu-dum Tu-tu-dum Light a cigarette for the picture, please And pull your jacked-up tights over purple knees Wipe your dripping head with your tight long sleeve What the hell is twee, what is indie sleaze I just hang around so I could watch you spin Rise above the disco drinking too much gin Little butterfly with the cocaine friend Sometimes you look my way when the party ends Tu-dum Tu-tu-dum Tu-tu-dum Tu-tu-dum And you're so pretty but you look like death And your nose is bleeding and your T-shirt's red And your thoughts are skipping like an old cassette And your waist is barely just a silhouette Oh, but you're so funny when you move so strange And your legs are shaking, the colours drain And your mouth is foaming and your brain's in flames But you look so good when your body shakes Look at all these kids in their cardigans And their ballet flats and their heroin And their moon-white hair and their pale skin Everyone is looking just a little too thin Tu-dum Tu-tu-dum Tu-tu-dum Tu-tu-dum
