[Verse 1]
Leatherette, Leatherette
You took a train to the south
Headed for the low light
Ready to just hold tight
Waiting with your heart in your mouth
Singing God loves a trier
Fame loves a liar
Gotta use and abuse
To scrape the sky, Leatherette
You haven't made it yet
[Verse 2]
Leatherette, Leatherette
With all your counterfeit pain
Swinging like Lolita
Serial retweeter
As long as it fixes the game
Steal like a pro
A cheap Monroe
Got a small cameo
To make your name, Leatherette
It hasn't happened yet
[Bridge]
And if happiness exists
Girl it can't be this
[Verse 3]
Leatherette, Leatherette
Makes such a beautiful bruise
Your soapbox drama
Couldn't quite disarm her
You can't make the girl take your cues
You've got a slot machine heart
Still quoting Descartes
While your world falls apart
In front of you, Leatherette
This is is all you get
[Outro]
String your life on a wire
For the wealthiest buyer
While you're lighting more fires
To warm your hands, Leatherette
Flames don't forget
