Blowing Smoke
As night falls I must return
Before I scare my mother silly
And yet I cannot pull myself away
From this coffee shop called "The Lilly"
Oh, how the city lights glitter
The wet pavement so bright
The magical world of the city
Lit up by the night
Up against the dark brick wall
As I step out into the evening weather
Blowing smoke with a hand of death
A handsome man of oil and leather
A diamond smile graces his face
a city boy through and through
gazes into my farmgirl eyes
hair a flaming blue
He owns a bar down on Styx
I've never been on my own
He laughs as if I told a joke
And says he'll show me a world I've never known
He climbs onto his hearse of steel
engine reving loud
He pulls my hand towards the bike
And we disappear from the crowds
My mother's house is cold
snowy, lifeless, and dead
She calls me home every night
But I stay here instead
In this bar so dark
Corpses staggering to a song
Hades ruling his domain behind a bar
Where I stay all night long
I lift a drink up to my lips
Pomegranite rum with a twist
Vision blurring as my throat burns
Finishing drink number 6
Six months later, my hair cut short
A queen of oil and leather
Blowing smoke beside Hades, my love
King and Queen of darkenss together
