Cold War Kids
Fashionable
[Verse 1]
An invitation to a party begs you go
You'll wear the only thing that waits inside your door

[Chorus]
No red, no green
One black dress is all any woman needs
My, aren't we fashionable?

[Verse 2]
Calls made, your ride awaits
You've dressed your lips in rose
The powder on your face
Who else could get so close?

[Verse 3]
Refuse directions, you have memorized the road
Back when you chased the trends some picture always told

[Chorus]
No red, no green
One black dress is all any woman needs
My, aren't we fashionable?

[Post-Chorus]
Who will sweep you off your feet?
Who will sweep you off your feet?
[Verse 4]
You've made your great escape with only one goodbye
Your stream of consciousness, it floods into the night
The boys predictable, the girls may never know
The beauty that you wear way underneath your clothes

[Chorus]
No red, no green
One black dress is all any woman needs
My, aren't we fashionable?

[Post-Chorus]
Who will sweep you off your feet?
Who will sweep you off your feet?

[Verse 5]
Role models pile up in the street
She has survived just a scratch on the cheek
She's paying in dimes
A midnight coffee shrink

[Verse 6]
Her shoulder's exposed
She holds a cup like a queen
From some tiny ancient island country off the coast of Greece
Where the daughters will all have names like Elise
[Verse 7]
The lighting in here is terrible
A weird glowing green
And flattery won't get her out of her seat
She digs in her heels
Her mascara streaks
Who's gonna sweep her off?

[Verse 8]
Why didn't I, why?
A hundred miles deep
Who's gonna sweep her off of her feet?
A skeptic at heart, but why shouldn't she be?
Who's gonna sweep her off?

[Verse 9]
When every mouth lies
And every hand cheats
Good luck sweeping her off of her feet
With those x-ray eyes
And see the wolf in the sheep
But who's gonna sweep her off?
Oh, oh
Oh, whoa

[Bridge]
I am your style
Oh, and you are my style
And I am your style
And you are my style
[Outro]
Who will sweep you off your feet?
Who will sweep you off your feet?
Who will sweep you off your feet?
