Lyrics

Christian Dior

Christian Dior

You wasted your life

On aroma and clothes

Fabric and dyes

Christian Dior

You wasted your life

On grandeur and style

Making the poor rich smile

You could have run wild

On 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

You could have run wild

On 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

Oh, Christian Dior

Oh, Christian Dior

When you look at me

Failure is all that you see

I discipline my days just like Christian Dior

I could've run loudly and proudly

Or forcible entry

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

Lyonise maverick, ah

Design if you can, ah

The way to just be a man, ah

To just be a man, ah
