Crystal Vases

intro
 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 grime that settles in
 around the crystal vase
 the crystal vase, a wedding gift
 that through the years has made the shift
 what once helds flowers
 now holds ash
 from my two packs a day
 Oo, 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 kiss
 But I guess I'll just to call on my bank 'cause it's Swiss"
 She never knew no better than to follow her nose
 I ask for your forgiveness 'cause I'm part of the show
 And 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
 We'll 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
 Get some sun on that yacht
 She never knew no better than to follow her nose
 I ask for your forgiveness 'cause I'm part of the show
 And now all 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 grime that settles in
 around the crystal vase
 the crystal vase, a wedding gift
 that through the years has made the shift
 what once helds flowers
 now holds ash
