Ode to Antidote

B-movie queens and minor aristocrats
Charm warfare ain't where it's at
The only antidote alone, is you alone
Just wear lipstick on your wedding day
You can't tap dance to taps anyway
The only antidote alone, is you alone
Where did you go?
Even though you never were mine to start with
Where did you fly?
Even though you never were mine at all to fly with
Maybe one day golden age will come
But 'til then, this bottle of perfume will have to do
'Cause the only antidote is you
B-movie queens and minor aristocrats
Charm warfare ain't where it's at
The only antidote alone, is you alone
Just wear lipstick on your wedding day
You can't tap dance to taps anyway
The only antidote alone, is you alone
Where did you go?
Even though you never were mine to start with
Where did you fly?
Even though you never were mine at all to fly with
Maybe one day golden age will come
But 'til then, this bottle of perfume will have to do
'Cause the only antidote is you
