Liner Notes
[Intro]
(food court lights, one left on)
Security cam blink — aisle seven's gone
Barbie 1: mirror feed is live
Barbie 2: basement hum
Barbie 3: hair straightener clicking, click-click-click...

[Verse 1]
I wandered past the séance by the Orange Julius shrine
The pretzel salt was singing, and the mannequins were mine
Something bit my forearm where the sample tag had been
I told the empty registers, "It's only skin."

[Pre-Chorus]
Scan me, scan me, price check on my pulse
The escalator's breathing and the sale rack's getting loud
My eyes go mannequin-blank, my hands keep reaching out
For a limited-edition gloss that never came out

[Drop-Chorus]
Just a scratch, just a scratch, I'm still free
Just a scratch, just a scratch, don't look at me
Just a scratch, just a scratch, I'm still free
Security cam, smile — just a scratch, just a scratch

[Post-Chorus Glitch]
(click-click-click-click) gloss aisle
(click-click) final markdown
(click-click) I'm still free
(still free, still free) — static giggle

[Verse 2]
The department store is flickering like a carcass full of neon
My reflection's wearing lipstick that it didn't have put on
Barbie 3 just clicks the drum machine: the warning's coming through

[Pre-Chorus]
Hunger in the food court, hunger in the price
The hunger is a customer, the customer is mine
My eyes go mannequin-blank, my hands keep reaching out
For the limited-edition gloss that never came out

[Drop-Chorus]
Just a scratch, just a scratch, I'm still free
Just a scratch, just a scratch, don't look at me
Just a scratch, just a scratch, I'm still free
Security cam, smile — just a scratch, just a scratch

[Bridge]
Intercom, intercom, please return to the vault
A shopper has become a want, a want without a thought
The mall has made me rabid, but the mall has made me new
I'll smile for the lens and whisper what I know is true:

[Post-Chorus Glitch / Outro]
Just a scratch, just a scratch, I'm still free
(click-click, click-click, click-click) — just a scratch
Zuma tape is buried — just a scratch, still free
Just a scratch, just a scratch, I'm still free
