It was beautiful on that windy night.
The sky glowed.
Or so they told me.
Were you just as beautiful?
Baby, you smell like smoke.

Nothing left but magic dust
that contained a lifetime of the past
I watched it swirl in my empty glass
Baby, you smell like smoke.

The working men had to stare
It was beautiful
So very, very beautiful

A Christmas feast for the eyes
and they ate their fill
thinking they gorged alone.
But it was hungry too wasnt it?
Baby, you smell like smoke.

And yet here you are beside me
with fateful incense in your hand
clutched like a rosary between your blackened fingers

Baby, you smell like smoke.
