She drives alone
through the empty night
Her cigarettes her only sign of life
In shadows cast by shades of green
She's wrapped in dreams no one has seen
Dark sunglasses,
bar the sun
She never looks ahead,
no need for war
She's given up on hope instead
With every track she sees her face
And the colder thoughts embrace
Just let the smoke rise,
big fish you'd love to see
In the icy car her only company
Let the curling smoke weave a story out of sight
Reflections in the mirror,
whispers of the night
Pale green shirt beneath the traffic's glow
She laughs in silence on me in this road
Her vivid eyes watch the red lights game
She waits for chaos in the changing rain
Just let the smoke rise,
burn a dream that's locked away
In the perfect play that caused the stage today
Let the curling smoke hide the road she doesn't want
We'll notice all the signs she shuns
Just let the smoke rise,
big fish you'd love to see
In the icy car her only company
Let the curling smoke weave a story out of sight
Reflections in the mirror,
whispers of the night
She keeps on smoking,
it's the way she's left it cold She stubs
out dreams like a cigarette's last hole
She keeps on smoking,
she can't bear to let it go Takes off
her shades watching fate turn slow
Just let the smoke rise,
big fish you'd love to see
In the icy car her only company
Let the curling smoke weave a story out of sight
Reflections in the mirror, whispers of the night
She keeps on driving,
searching for a street that never ends No signs,
no maps,
just bends and bends again
She keeps on smoking,
it's the way she's learned to cold call
She stubs out dreams like a cigarette's last hole
