Christian Dior you wasted your life
 on aroma and clothes
 fabric and dyes
 Christian Dior
 you wasted your life
 on grandeur and style
 and making the poor rich smile
 
 whenyou could've run wildon the backstreets of Lyon or Marseille
 reckless and legless and stoned
 impregnating women or kissing mad street boys
 from Napoli who couldn't even write their own name...
 Christian Dior
 you wasted your life
 sensually stroking the weaves of a sleeve
 
 whenyou could have run wildon the backstreets of Lyon or Marseille
 reckless and legless and stoned
 impregnating women or kissing mad street boys
 from Napoli who couldn't even spell their own name...
 Christian Dior
 Christian Dior
 When you look at me
 failure is all that you see
 I disciplined my days
 just like Christian Dior
 I could've run loudly and proudly
 all forcible entry
 and morally bankrupt
 and never non-violent
 and drawn to what scares me
 and scared of what bores me
 years alone will never be returned
 Christian Dior
 Lionised maverick
 design (if you can)
 the way
 to just
 ...be a man
 to just
 ...be a man
 Christian Dior
 Christian Dior
 Christian Dior
 Christian Dior
