Crystal Vases - The Last Royals

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
