[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I only drink espresso from a hand-thrown ceramic cup
My vinyl collection is strictly limited run
You probably haven't heard of the band on my shirt
They broke up in Berlin before their sound got commercial
[Chorus]
And I'm jangling my keys to a rhythm you can't feel
Dancing like a mannequin with calculated zeal
I'm so much more refined than the air you breathe tonight
It's a jangle of pretense in black and white
[Verse 2]
I read French philosophy in the original tongue
My opinions on cinema are withering and young
I dismiss your nostalgia as a bourgeois disease
My ennui is an art form, I'm so painfully sincere
[Chorus]
And I'm jangling my keys to a rhythm you can't feel
Dancing like a mannequin with calculated zeal
I'm so much more refined than the air you breathe tonight
It's a jangle of pretense in black and white
[Bridge]
Observe the way I hold my cigarette
Like a still from a film you haven't seen yet
This detachment is a carefully crafted pose
Even my indifference is overexposed
[Chorus]
And I'm jangling my keys to a rhythm you can't feel
Dancing like a mannequin with calculated zeal
I'm so much more refined than the air you breathe tonight
It's a jangle of pretense in black and white
[Outro]
