Still Smoking

from A Letter From The 20th Century by Poirot

/

lyrics

She used to
Just follow
My late walks
In wild forests

She used to
Hide behind
The bushes
Oh, what a child!

One of us
Was naked when we met

You never learnt your lesson
You study recklessly again

She would draw
Big circles
And she'd paint
All lines purple

She'd come home
But leave soon
She'd never
Explain the reasons

Where's your embarrassment?
It should be obvious so far
How can you be busy talking?

Couldn't feel cosier
When I thought this is a start
Sixteen months on and you're still smoking

I'm drowning
This fireplace
Is burning
A living nightmare

I'm screaming
Nobody
Can hear me
Trapped voice, betray me!

One of us
Is neither me or you

Where's the embarrassment
I should be sensing so far?
How....?
