Touch Of Trash Lyrics - Modern Cool - Patricia Barber

The perfect shade of lipstick 

Of red pepper lies 

Assertions carefully weaved into her style 

Eyeliner drawn with another sinner's hand 

Replication makes perfection; 

She's just a button short of trash. 

Matching toes and fingers 

The peek-a-boo shoe 

Manipulation 

As subtle as the perfume 

A South Beach tan 

With sun-streaked dew 

Orchestration and precision;

The girl works harder than you. 

Primitive inspiration 

Packaged in modern disguise 

Disposition 

Permitting a glimpse of the thigh; 

Masculine resolve 

With a feminine plan: 

Domination and submission. 

She smells the gas - then lights the match. 

Stylish deliberation 

The chattel of Calvin Klein 

Obsession, 

Calculation of color and design. 

Glamour defined by supply and demand 

Education and graduation; 

She's just a culture short of class.

Moment of indecision 

Cool wind from the edge of the cliff 

Intoxication 

Feels like love when it looks like this. 

If truth is the price for a superficial charm 

Night is laughing 

Watching us do absolutely nothing:
