PUFFED AWAY

SHE HELD A CIGGARETTE
IN HER PROSTHETIC HAND
AS SHE PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY
SHE WAS HEADED DOWN THE STREET
NOT LOOKING FOR A MAN
AS SHE PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY

MALIGNANCY WAS THE LEAST OF HER CONCERNS
SHE'D BEEN MALIGNED A TIME OR TWO
DETERMINATION SHONE AS SHE HEADED FOR THE TUBE
SHE HAD A JOB TO DO

SHE COULD SEE THE FINISH LINE
THROUGH HER BOTTLE THICKS
AS SHE PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY
SHE WAS TOO FAR GONE BYNOW
TO EVEN CALL IN SICK
AND SHE PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY

AND THE MAGIC WORDS
SHE WISPERED TO HERSELF
SEEMED TO KEEP THE CROWDS AT BAY
BUT SOMETIMES SHE SWORE SHE HEARD SOMEBODY ELSE
SINGIN', DARLIN' WON''T YOU STAY WON''T YA STAY

PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY,
SILENT SIGNALS FROM HER SMOKE
SENT A MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR

AS SHE HURRIED TO THE NIGHT
HER TRAIL OF TEARS WAS DRY
AND SHE PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY
SHE WAS NEARLY GONE FROM SIGHT
WHEN I BEGAN TO CRY
AND SHE PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY

AND SENSING FEAR
SHE TURNED BENEATH THE LAMP
AND GAVE A LITTLE WAVE
I THOUGHT I SAW A YELLOWED PLASTIC HAND
BECKON TO THE GRAVE

SHE PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY,
PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY, PUFFED AWAY…
