Business As A Performing Art

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

With the straightest of faces



Novelty, novelty

Gleaming lipstick, chain and gag

Show your teeth if you can bite it back

(Bite it back)

Skin grafts of all your mistresses,

It's such an exhibition, oh

You're in when you're invited back

(Invited back)



There's an etiquette to always faking it

With the straightest of faces

It's all about the way you present yourself

With the straightest of faces



And I'll stay at home



And I'll stay at home

(And I'll stay at home)



And I'll stay at home

(And I'll stay at home)

And I'll stay at home



And I'll stay at home

(And I'll stay at home)

And I'll stay at home



There's an etiquette to always faking it

(And I'll stay at home)

(And I'll stay at home)

With the straightest of faces

(And I'll stay at home)

(And I'll stay at home)

It's all about the way you present yourself

(And I'll stay at home)

(And I'll stay at home)

With the straightest of faces

(And I'll stay at home)

(And I'll stay at home)
