Oh my God
My parents back in Surrey used to worry for my health
They'd say, "Emily, you need to breathe, my dear"
I'm slightly tightly wound, it's tough in life and love, I've found
But at Runway, it's the reason I'm still here
I'm finally number one, I'm rather proud of how I've done
Because I'm in it every minute, all the way
You want weekends? Vacations? Do you hate your occupations?
It's a privilege to burn out here every day
How to survive at Runway, how to keep your head
Anticipate the chaos and never let it spread
How to survive at Runway, you clear Miranda's bar
And you don't let a new girl ruin you, not when you've come this far
At Runway, Runway, Runway
Bloody time!
(Emily, I am so sorry, I didn't realize that you wanted-)
Please stop talking
You're an hour late already, write down everything I say
I'm hearing this and I want this, just smile and nod
(What do I-)
Nod!
Miranda needs the lookbook back from Dolce and Gabbana
(Um, how do you spell Gabbana?)
Oh my God
Go get your phone
I can't begin to reason what Miranda sees in her
But now I have to train this tiny tweedy slob
That's eight assistants gone, and if this latest can't hold on
I bloody love my job, I love my job, I love my job, I love my job
How to survive at Runway, how to find your feet
Eat, sleep, and breathe the job, except don't sleep or eat
How to survive at Runway, which again, you've never read?
She'll skin me alive if you don't survive and then we'll both be dead
At Runway, Runway, Runway
Though your odds are nonexistent, if you do survive, you learn
The rewards make every sacrifice feel small
Now I'm the first assistant, which I worked for years to earn
So at last I get the best of all this fall
Paris, Paris
I finally get to go to Paris
Seated by Miranda's side for Paris Fashion Week
The shows, the clothes
Ce sera magnifique
Paris, I'll be the perfect me in Paris
As I float in haute couture from head to heel
The views, the shoes
Nothing tastes as good as Paris is gonna feel
Barely alive at Runway, but you must make it through
If you screw Paris up for me, I will murder you
Finally work at Runway, so as soon as you arrive
You better commit your life to it, that's how you survive
At Runway
Runway
Runway
Runway
Runway
That's how you survive at Runway
Runway
Runway
Runway
