Let´s start the day with the brand new Christine and the Queens video: 5 Dollars! French pop royalty Héloïse Letissier, better known as Christine and the Queens, dropped a new single “5 Dollars” on Thursday (Aug. 16), along with a video that further solidifies her place in the pantheon of queer pop goddesses.
“5 Dollars” is a working-for-the-weekend jam that saunters along to a slinky groove before propelling into a staccato piano-house chorus. “You’re eager and unashamed/ I don’t think the race is over, baby,” sighs Letissier. www.christineandthequeens.com
Every absent-minded day
I let myself carried away
Then you get 5 dollars, baby blues, 5 dollars baby
Kneeling down for all they cared
You let them pay and went ahead
It is still 5 dollars, baby blues, 5 dollars baby
You’re eager and unashamed
I grieve by dying every night baby
Prove them wrong when you get
5 dollars
You’re eager and unashamed
I don’t think the race is over baby
Prove them wrong when you get
5 dollars
Some of us just had to fight
For even being looked at right
Then you get 5 dollars, baby blues, 5 dollars baby
Pockets full and dried eyes
It turns me on because it’s timed
Now throw me 5 dollars baby blues, 5 dollars baby
Throw me 5 dollars baby
You’re eager and unashamed
I grieve by dying every night baby
Prove them wrong when you get
5 dollars
You’re eager and unashamed
And I don’t think the race is over baby
Prove them wrong when you get
5 dollars
