The action of the majorette spinning their baton is being likened to spinning a web of lies. Opening lyrics,
Imitation red carnations
It’s what you say you don’t do
suggests a dishonesty to oneself or others. Given the stereotype of a majorette being superficial, it seems fitting that the context...
[Verse 1]
Imitation red carnation
Nothing is new and neither are you
It's what you say you don't do
Bottom of your well, that's where you fell
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Majorette like there's nothing left
If there was nothing left to lose
Then you'd have something to prove
And you would never tip your hat
Has it come to that
Watch it spin like that
[Outro]
Watch you spin like that
Watch you spin like that
Watch you spin like that
Watch you spin like that
Watch you spin like that
Watch you spin like that
