Sympathique
-Pink Martini
My room is like a cage
The sun reaches through the window
The shoes by my door are like little soldiers
Who want to take me away
I don’t want to work
I don’t want to have lunch
I just want to forget
And so I smoke
I’ve known the scent of love before
A million roses wouldn’t smell as sweet
Now a single flower near me
Makes me ill
I don’t want to work
I don’t want lunch
I just want to forget
And so I smoke
I’m not proud of this
the life that is killing me
It’s wonderful to be nice
But I’ve never known it
