All Things Being The Same |
She is searching for some form of salvation |
In the corner of a bar down the street |
But the gin controls whole conversations |
And plays magic tricks with her feet… |
She gets up, falls down, breaks even |
Gets caught by the wrong mister right -- |
Hey, it’s a hard town |
I wouldn’t want to live in it -- |
But I wouldn’t want to give up in it |
All things being the same… |
Back home she’s got these pictures on her mirror |
They frame her when she looks back at her face |
They tell her where she’s been -- |
I’ll tell you where she’s going |
She’s got her name on a stool down at Eddie Owen’s place… |
She drinks when romance brings her down |
Like the sight of blood is a wedding gown |
Bright lights and smoke fill up this space |
It’s a crowded room, but still a lonely old place… |
All her friends are nothing more than strangers |
Whose names are just words on a face |
If they bumped into her out on a sidewalk on some Sunday |
They wouldn’t recognize her outside of the place |
