about
This is the second produced single from my self-imposed, one-new-song-per-week pandemic writing challenge. Starting in April of 2020, I decided to write and post a song a week for one year, which I posted each week on YouTube. The original version of this song can be heard there. I plan to release most of the songs in produced versions, and some of the songs will be released as The Modern Airline, a five-piece, Brooklyn New Wave band that I'm part of.
lyrics
sweet pussy cats are being dyed blue
a la laboratoire dermatologique
Guinea pigs with lipstick too
a la laboratoire dermatologique
working toward a better you
rats scrubbed clean with cleansing cream
a la laboratoire dermatologique
hair removed with laser beam
a la laboratoire dermatologique
skin so soft it's like a dream
toners
lotions
moisturizers
exfoliants
reducers
primers
glosses
powders
peels and blocks
monkeys working 'round the clock
if you dream of looking nice
laboratoire dermatologique
you'll find our products most enticing
laboratoire dermatologique
