Tear-Gas Chic

Glitch techno, 128 BPM offbeat-kick runway strut; syncopated glitch drums, chamber percussion, prepared piano plucks, bowed string stabs, detuned analog synths and granular noise bursts; deadpan female spoken vocal climbs into high notes, breathy close-mic pre-chorus, call-and-response backing voices, stacked hooky chorus with chopped repeats; sidechain compression, dry punchy mix, metallic reverb tails

[Intro | runway beat, deadpan spoken] Look one. Smoke grey. Wear it like you mean it. [Verse 1 | deadpan female vocal] Balaclava, cashmere knit Hand-distressed, the perfect fit Soot on the cheekbone, matte, not shine Cardboard sign by a Paris design The bandana's back, the boots are steel Molotov green is the colour that's real Shattered glass on the bodice, sewn Every slogan sold alone [Pre-Chorus | breathy, close-mic] Don't ask what it's for It's for the photo [Chorus | stacked, hooky] Tear-gas chic, tear-gas chic Make your eyes run, honey, that's the look this week Riot on the runway, rebellion boutique Tear-gas chic [Verse 2] Front row's dressed in the barricade Sponsored kneeling, a perfect fade Rubber bullets on a charm bracelet Pre-order now, you'll never face it The kids who started it? Not on the list Their faces screen-printed on every wrist [Chorus] Tear-gas chic, tear-gas chic Make your eyes run, honey, that's the look this week Riot on the runway, rebellion boutique Tear-gas chic [Bridge | spoken, bored] Next season: flood. Very wet. Very now. Riots are so October. [Chorus] Tear-gas chic, tear-gas chic Make your eyes run, honey, that's the look this week Riot on the runway, rebellion boutique Tear-gas chic [Outro | beat cuts, dry cough] Tear-gas chic
