Velvet Superiority

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sipping champagne from a paper cup, Mirror shades on, but the lens is cracked up, Quoting Sartre in a laundromat booth, Every word’s a gem, but it’s just a loose tooth. [Chorus] Velvet superiority, draped in borrowed prose, Jangle like a tambourine nobody knows, We speak in riddles, but the answers are clear, Fake humility, but the crown’s right here. [Verse 2] Leather jacket tailored, thrift-store flair, Correct your grammar mid-karaoke air, A postcard pose with a French phrase misplaced, New wave static, but we’re all second place. [Chorus] Velvet superiority, draped in borrowed prose, Jangle like a tambourine nobody knows, We speak in riddles, but the answers are clear, Fake humility, but the crown’s right here. [Bridge] Plastic crown glows under neon regret, Dancing to a rhythm the suburbs forget, Is it irony or just a nervous twitch? The spotlight’s a flicker—are we rich or kitsch? [Outro]
