Was burning

From the torch

Singer's song

And the sweat was floodin' her eyes
汗水浸透了她的眼睛
The catwalk squeaked
走秀吱吱作响
'Neath the bartender's feet
就在酒保的脚边
And the smoke was too heavy
硝烟弥漫
To rise
扶摇直上
She sang of the love that I left her

And of the woman that she'll never be

Work the day shift from seven to three

Makes me feel like the sunday funnies

Everything's gone off the air

I picked through the ashes

For whiskey and pain
