You Are What You Wear Lyrics - American Psycho [original London Cast Recording] - Duncan Sheik

EVELYN: 

This is a big birthday for Patrick, Courtney, so thank you for helping me co-host. 

COURTNEY: 

Anything for you, Evelyn. You look to die for. 

EVELYN: 

Thank you, Courtney. 

I want blackened shark, 

Mahi mahi. 

Works so well 

With Isaac Mizrahi. 

COURTNEY: 

I'll have soda, 

And crème de menthe. 

Tastes so good 

With Oscar de la Renta. 

EVELYN: 

The ginger mango soy black bass 

Compliments the beige Bill Blass 

I will not touch 

A drop of red wine 

BOTH: 

Don't wanna ruin the Calvin Klein. 

Chanel, Gaultier, or Giorgio Armani 

Moschino, Alia, or Norma Kamali 

Should I rock 

The Betsey Johnson 

Or stick with classic 

Comme des Garçon 

No parachute 

Or Fiorucci 

I'm with Prada 

I'm with Gucci 

When one goes shopping 

It's best to take care 

As some of us know 

You are what you wear. 

EVELYN: 

I will try on 

These Maud Frizon 

COURTNEY: 

I think I'll go 

To Ferragamo 

EVELYN: 

I don't know if 

I'm such a fan 

Of your purple suede Charles Jourdan. 

BOTH: 

But let's be clear, 

There's nothing ironic 

About our love of 

Manolo Blahnik. 

No, there's nothing 

Remotely ironic 

About our love of 

Manolo Blahnik. 

Chanel, Gaultier, or Giorgio Armani 

Moschino, Alia, or Norma Kamali 

Should I rock 

The Betsey Johnson 

Or stick with classic 

Comme des Garçon 

In a certain kind of neighborhood 

You might get away with Vivian Westwood 

But by von Furstenberg we swear 

It's a wrap 

You are what you wear. 

EVELYN: 

Hello? 

JEAN: 

Hi, Evelyn? I have Patrick for you. 

EVELYN: 

Patrick, are you getting excited, birthday boy? Now, listen, your brother and mother are already here - she won't take off her sunglasses, she refuses to say anything - I'm worried she hates me, Patrick. 

PATRICK BATEMAN: 

No, she doesn't, she's just heavily medicated. Listen, can we add Paul Owen to the mix? 

EVELYN: 

What? Add who? 

PATRICK BATEMAN: 

Paul. Owen. Read my lips: it's for work. 

EVELYN: 

No, you are not screwing up my dinner party with your latest neurotic obsession. 

PATRICK BATEMAN: 

He's coming, Evelyn! I invited him, it's my birthday dinner. 

EVELYN: 

I will not have an odd number at my table, Patrick! This isn't Brooklyn! 

PATRICK BATEMAN: 

Well, invite someone else. Can't Courtney bring Luis? 

COURTNEY: 

Luis is flying back from Phoenix tonight. 

EVELYN: 

Luis is unavailable. 

PATRICK BATEMAN: 

Fuck sake, Evelyn, it doesn't matter. I'll bring Jean. Jean, are you still on the line? 

JEAN: 

I am. 

PATRICK BATEMAN: 

So, do you have plans tonight? 

JEAN: 

No, nothing I couldn't change, but Patrick, look, I - 

PATRICK BATEMAN: 

Perfect, then you'll come to Evelyn's. 

JEAN: 

What do I wear? 

PATRICK BATEMAN: 

What you have on is... Acceptable. 

JEAN: 

What am I supposed to do? 

PATRICK BATEMAN: 

Simple recon, Jean. Find out how a douchebag like Paul Owen managed to score the Fischer account. 

CHORUS: 

Chanel, Gaultier, or Giorgio Armani 

Moschino, Alia, or Norma Kamali 

Should I rock 

The Betsey Johnson 

Or stick with classic 

Comme des Garçon 

No parachute 

Or Fiorucci 

I'm with Prada 

I'm with Gucci 

Missoni, Versace, 

Which one is best? 

The guys just buzz, 

Do I look underdressed?
