Inspired by the vintage fashion designer, RCMoore, "Magic Thread" expresses the idea of reinventing one's story by donning the forgotten garments of the bold, beautiful, and sometimes tragic women who wore them first.

Lyrics
Tell me the story behind this dress
Did she wear it in joy or was her life a mess.
Tell me the story of, a tattered soul
How mending the tear can, make her whole.
Tell me the story of the magic in your thread
How you made a masterpiece from scrapes left for dead.
Tell me of the drama in these old mink stoles
How to use my stories to patch the holes.
Desperate times
Call for desperate measures
What this old world needs is
More rhinestones and feathers
Tell me the story of yourself
Of who you are or want to be.
It’s already beautiful
And with a little work could live on forever
Tell me the story behind this dress
Did she wear it in joy or was her life a mess
A tattered soul,
Mend the tears and, make it whole.
Tell me the story of the magic in your thread
How you made a masterpiece from scrapes left for dead.
Tell of the drama in these old mink stoles
How to use my stories to patch the holes.
Desperate times
Call for desperate measures
What this old world needs is
More rhinestones and feathers
Tell me the story of yourself
Does it include big earrings and cha-cha heels?
Or maybe hats! Hats!!
Fashion fades, style is forever.
