The French Inhaler |
How’re you going to make your way in the world |
When you weren’t cut out for working |
When your fingers are slender and frail |
How’re you going to get around |
In this sleazy bedroom town |
If you don’t put yourself up for sale |
Where will you go with your scarves and your miracles |
Who’s gonna know who you are |
Drugs and wine and flattering light |
You must try it again till you get it right |
Maybe you’ll end up with someone different every night |
All these people with no home to go home to |
They’d all like to spend the night with you |
Maybe I would, too |
But tell me |
How’re you going to make your way in the world, woman |
When you weren’t cut out for working |
And you just can’t concentrate |
And you always show up late |
You said you were an actress |
Yes, I believe you are |
I thought you’d be a star |
So I drank up all the money, |
Yes, I drank up all the money, |
With these phonies in this Hollywood bar, |
These friends of mine in this Hollywood bar |
Loneliness and frustration |
We both came down with an acute case |
And when the lights came up at two |
I caught a glimpse of you |
And your face looked like something |
Death brought with him in his suitcase |
Your pretty face |
It looked so wasted |
Another pretty face |
Devastated |
The French Inhaler |
He stamped and mailed her |
«So long, Norman» |
She said, «So long, Norman» |
