Lyrics

Perfumed and smoky • she swears that she knows me • she's falling down drunk again • I say she's mistaken • she's visibly shaken • emotions all drowned in gin • she said I used to be beautiful • but now it's all gone • I let my dreams slip away from me • that's where it went wrong • go be young, go be free • follow your heart where it leads you • don't end up like me • the indian in the guardhouse used to spin me yarns • stories of canyons and boston in winter • and losing his family's farms • he said I've outlived my three sons, they died in three wars • I laughed and I cried while they lived and they died • and I know that they deserve more • chorus • perfumed and smoky she swears that she knows me • I'm falling down drunk again • I say she's mistaken • she's visibly shaken • emotions all drowned in gin • isay I used to be powerful • but now it's all gone • I let my dreams take control of me • that's where it went wrong • chorus
