NY Lipps (Dries Van Noten 2020 Remix)

[Nancy Whang and ???]
Excuse me?
Excuse me?
Excuse me?

This is the excuse
This is the excuse
This is the excuse
This is the excuse

Each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword
Some kill their love when they are young
Some when they arе old
Some strangle with the hands of lust
Somе with the hands of gold
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold
Some love too little
Some too long
Some buy and others sell
Some do the deed with so many tears
And some without a sigh

For each man kills the thing he loves
Yet each man does not die

Excuse me?
Excuse me?
Excuse me?

This is the excuse
This is the excuse
This is the excuse that we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying?
This is the excuse that we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?

Excuse me?
This is the excuse that we're making, we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?
This is the excuse that we're making, we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?

Some love too little
Some too long
Some buy and others sell
Some do the deed with so many tears
And some without a sigh

I can shout!
I said, I can shout!
You don't have to shout at me
Um, okay, well stop making me then!
Hey, hey!
I'm getting loud with you!

This is the excuse that we're making, we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?
This is the excuse that we're making, we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?
This is the excuse-
This is the excuse that we're making, we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?
This is the excuse that we're making, we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?

You're paying
You're paying
You're paying
You're paying

Each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword
Some kill their love when they are young
Some when they are old

This is the excuse that we're making, we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?
This is the excuse that we're making, we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?
This is the excuse-
This is the excuse that we're making, we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?
This is the excuse that we're making, we're making
Is it good enough for what you're paying, you're paying?
