smoky room

Lady sings the blues

as he takes off his shoes.

As he takes of her dress

she’s got nothing to lose.

 

Lady sings her song

he’s not singing along.

But he makes her feel good

What on earth could go wrong?

 

Lady hums her tune

by the light of the moon.

he’s taken her soul

and left the saloon.

 

Lady is alone

in a room of her own.

Lighting a cigarette

and chilled to the bone.
