THE LAST ROYALS lyrics : "Crystal Vases"

If I die a lonely death, I'm sure it's from the cigarettes
I smoked each day after you left me, standing all alone
Alone in my Park Avenue apartment that smelled fresh and new

The extra set of keys from you are going to the maid
The maid has been my only friend
She's always there to apprehend

The dust and grim that settles in around the crystal vase
The crystal vase, a wedding gift, that through the years has made the shift,
What once held flowers now holds ash, from my two packs a day


Ooo baby she walks with a thorn in her side
Them big sunglasses on her eyes

All the uptown girls say hi, old woman
I can't take another day of this, she says
All I wanted was a drink and a kiss,

But I guess I'll just have to call on my bank cause it's Swiss

She never knew no better than to follow her nose

So I ask for your forgiveness cause I'm part of the show
Now she's gone and all she's left with is a house full of clothes
Sometimes Madam it's ok to cry


Well she's probably just a chip off the block
You know like coffee from a coffee pot

Well at least she can get away for a while and
Get some sun on that yacht


If I die a lonely death, I'm sure its from the cigarettes
I smoked each after you left me, standing all alone
Alone in my Park Avenue apartment that smelled fresh and new

The extra set of keys from you are going to the maid

Well she's probably just a chip off the block

You know like coffee from a coffee pot
Well at least she can get away for a while and
Get some sun on that yacht


She never knew no better than to follow her nose
So I ask for your forgiveness cause I'm part of the show

Now she's gone and all she's left with is a house full of clothes
Sometimes Madam it's ok to cry


If I die a lonely death, I'm sure it's from the cigarettes
I smoked each day after you left me, standing all alone
Alone in my Park Avenue apartment that smelled fresh and new

The extra set of keys from you are going to the maid
The maid has been my only friend
She's always there to apprehend

The dust and grim that settles in around the crystal vase
The crystal vase, a wedding gift, that through the years has made the shift,
What once held flowers now holds ash, from my two packs a day
