smoking packets of cigarettes

smoking packets of cigarettes
)original lyric junkieland)

this is killin' her
and she can't go on
it's only work
why's she frozen what's wong?

perhaps it's expectation
of payin' her way
perhaps it's her addictions
who can really say

but it's gettin' her down
and she's fallin' apart
nightly all alone
walkin' the dog in the park

not disposed to suicide
she couldn't be more depressed
lonely at home with her tv
smoking packets of cigarettes.
not disposed to suicide
shopping forays for a new dress
lonely at home with her tv
smoking packets of cigarettes
smoking packets of cigarettes

her child cries
just as she feels her heat
and she mutters damn in the dark
as she puts slippers on her feet

there's no love
as she administers maternal care
really she's so over this
nails in the coffins of despair.

days little better than the nights
idle chat with colleages
empty bus journies to home
and endless evenings of fatigue

not disposed to suicide
she couldn't be more depressed
lonely at home with her tv
smoking packets of cigarettes.
not disposed to suicide
shopping forays for a new dress
lonely at home with her tv
smoking packets of cigarettes
smoking packets of cigarettes
