She draws hr own apocalypse Between her blood-red ruby lips Holds it in her fingertips And calls her life a drag Sitting in the coffee shop Sucking on a lemon drop Waiting for her watch to stop While days are dragging on Do you suppose she knows That her colorful clothing clashes? Do you suppose she knows That her cigarette's dripping its ashes? And I wonder does she know As her slip begins to show? And I wonder does she see She's all I long to be? She's lost amid the smoke filled air Her life's a game of solitaire Staring though there's nothing there In a smoke ring of thorns But lady luck don't linger long Throw your ace before she's gone Before you reach your denouement Your final curtain call She hums a tune that haunts her head And wanders why she left her bed Tomorrow's just a day of dread As pipe dreams fade away As she lights another cigarette I wander is she ready yet? To cash in a life long debt And kiss the world goodbye?
