Business as a Performance Art Songtext
von The Lives of Famous Men

Ballroom poise the girls are dressing their intent
To get a taste for keeping pace.
The speaker lifts his glass.
To dearest friends that will not last.
They drink the pearls.
There′s an etiquette to always faking it with the straightest of faces.
It's all about the way you present yourself. Novelty: gleaming lipstick, chain and gag.
Show your teeth if you can bite it back.
Skin grafts of all your mistresses.
It′s such an exhibition.
You're in when youre invited back.
I'll stay at home (and cut at my own throat)
