Let him smoke his one last cigarette
And ponders to question her actions
Blind to the very horror of this sorry life
As bright as the night
For deserting the infantry
I'm gonna really quit this time
Blind to the horror
Let me smoke my one last cigarette
Blind to the very horror of this sorry life
Blind to the horror
As bright as the night
Leaning down she picks up a shard
Don't be hasty with the trigger boys
Straight as a corkscrew
Blindfold on and one step back
Smashes her mirror until it fracture
But the best one she's done yet
With tired eyes and steady hands
No need to get upset
She'll smoke her one last cigarette
Down in the hospital on the 9th ward
Waits 'til the nurse is downstairs
A selfish act, she's full aware
Sentenced to death while still shell-shocked
An old man scratches his head
I'm nearly cured, I've been so brave
There's no need to fret
Reaches into his bedside drawer
Straight as a corkscrew
The awkward girl with a broken heart
Blind to the very horror of this sorry life
