You say you see what's under me
That the gloss has washed away
But you're the one whose colour's gone
From love to dirty grey
Questions come alive in the middle of the day
Over and over again
Watch me start a fire in the middle of your shade
That's why I'm telling you I'm gonna

Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy me a brand new shade of man
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off

Spare this child your sideways smile
That crack in your veneer
Some blue broad will spoil your rod
It just takes patience dear
They rush you for your life
But you'll never beat the game
Older and older you get
Crush you like a gyre
But the gimble's all the same
Oh no I think it's happening

Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy me a brand new shade of man
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off

    General Comment:She's leaving him (kissing him off; finding a brand new shade of man) because the spark's gone (color's gone) or he's just screwed up too many times (pissed yours truly off this time), and there are plenty of men she can take up with now that she has (standing room only).

    General Comment:What does this song mean though? She's going to stop being a stripper with standing room for her pigment? She's going to find a good man? I have no idea; someone shouldm ^^^elaborate^^^^!

    General Comment:The music video for this song is the visual equivalent of catchy. Somehow, I like the song a lot more after seeing it. Whoo!

    Also, note Jabberwocky reference: "Crush you like a gyre/But the gimble's all the same."

    General Comment:Oh gosh! OmegaCM it DOES remind me of Blondie. I didn't think about it before, but I guess that's why I like it so much...

    General Comment:Anyone else feel a bit of a Blondie vibe in this song? That's a compliment, by the way. Scissor Sisters AND Blondie rule. Anyone who disagrees can choke.
