Cigarette Machine
Stumbling past your house baby
At the break of the day
I thought I saw your silhouette
Dancing cross the shade
And I went down to the mission
I called and called your name
Till an angel with a face like yours
Came and let me in
I thought I saw your reflection
In a cigarette machine
In a bottle in the gutter
In a window on the street
In a storefront in a picture
On an old broken TV
I swear it was you
Staring back at me
I heard soldier's voices
Down by the city gate
There were junkies lying on the ground
They made me look away
And I poured you on a mirror
I chopped you into lines
Over some old kitchen sink
I swore I'd let you die
I thought I saw your reflection
In a cigarette machine
In a bottle in the gutter
In a window on the street
In a storefront in a picture
On an old broken TV
I swear it was you
Staring back at me
Old radios and broken mirrors
Dog-eared things I read
Worn out movie stars
In their faded limousines
I struggle with my own charade
Of coffee cups and clowns
I can't keep up with parades
Cause I keep falling down
At the break of the day
I thought I saw your silhouette
Dancing cross the shade
And I went down to the mission
I called and called your name
Till an angel with a face like yours
Came and let me in
I thought I saw your reflection
In a cigarette machine
In a bottle in the gutter
In a window on the street
In a storefront in a picture
On an old broken TV
I swear it was you
Staring back at me
I heard soldier's voices
Down by the city gate
There were junkies lying on the ground
They made me look away
And I poured you on a mirror
I chopped you into lines
Over some old kitchen sink
I swore I'd let you die
I thought I saw your reflection
In a cigarette machine
In a bottle in the gutter
In a window on the street
In a storefront in a picture
On an old broken TV
I swear it was you
Staring back at me
Old radios and broken mirrors
Dog-eared things I read
Worn out movie stars
In their faded limousines
I struggle with my own charade
Of coffee cups and clowns
I can't keep up with parades
Cause I keep falling down
