Tailor Made
Wire · Wir: First Letter [2000]
Tailor made
Get on parade, your place in the sun
Uniform suits everyone
Made to measure, you'll like the shade
Fits like a glove, you're tailor made
Give 'em the slip, new suits are made
Full protection guaranteed
Your belief will be repaid
Target rich our techno trade
Reliable, reliable witness
Get on parade
Tailor made
In the room full of tame Mary's
It's hard to find the truth
If you ask me, 'Is this normal?'
I'll say, 'I've got the proof'

Reliable, reliable witness
Get on parade
In the room full of tame Mary's
It's hard to find the truth
If you ask me, 'Is it normal?'
You'll find me on the roof
Tailor made
Get on parade, a full display
Heed the warning, please don't delay
A shading of eyes, a turning of heads
A dig in the shallows, a collection of lead
In the room full of tame Mary's
It's hard to find the truth
If you ask me, 'Is this normal?'
I'll say, 'I've got the proof'
You'll find me on the roof
Searching for the truth
Get on parade
