Suits and ties
Lipsticks and purses
Anxiously waiting for the 7:20 a.m. train
Taking them away from the suburbs to Cemented indiscretions and misdemeanors
Hiding inside their zip codes
The pigment of a base coat
Knows its color
Slums living inside brown watered lies
All it takes is one note
Out of syncopation
And the song dies
