A pretty girl walks down the street
I give her a contemplative sneer
She runs back down the alleyway
She knows that her place isn’t here
The foggy haze surrounds my face
Smoke from my trusty cigarette
It entices you and hides the lines
Of age etched in my featurette
Let me drown my sorrows
In the liquor of your lies
Tell me falsehoods all night long
This lusty Spector in your eyes
Forgetting isn’t easy
When the truth is all around
In the shadows of the darkness
And in every subtle sound
Let me hide a while
In the safety of your bed
I won’t think about tomorrow
While I’m laying here half dead
The only thing that I’ve forgotten
Is the way things used to be
Before my life went straight to Hell
Before that girl turned into me
