Lyrics
Fashion Coat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In a fashion coat I float down my city
don't you think I look pretty anymore
I'll do everything to you but I can hardly come
cause I'm so afraid of you falling
I die fast in this city
outside I die slow
I'm not stupid I swear
I read the foreign news to understand my nation
you get two options in The You Estates
black city bloodbath or white country rape
I die fast in this city
outside I die slow
I die fast in this city
outside I die slow
everywhere I am is just another thing without you in it
