In this jazzy tune, a playful melody depicts the chaotic relationship of a couple from the 1920s. However, there is no affection in this story, only revenge.
lyrics
Start a war I don’t care for you anymore
Dig a grave for the love that you never gave
Oh the glass was shattered when I came in
Didn’t even need to tip you to the edge
Oh the rooms were vacant from the start
Yet I’m somehow the problem that feasted upon your heart
A fight broke out in the parlor
Where we had champagne and cigarettes the night before
And just like a smoke you are a suffocating choke
A habit that I’ll find a way to end
When you aim the gun I know that I have won
But you’re pathetic dear your mind has made a pact with fear
Oh the party was on fire before I joined
I had no time to call for aid
You just smiled and said the guests await
And I swore to sweep the ashes of your trace
A fight broke out in the parlor
Where we had champagne and cigarettes the night before
And just like a smoke you are a suffocating choke
A habit that I’ll find a way to end
Somehow I never escaped that grasp
Poured a drink and promised it was the last
And somehow the truth never came to be known
But when I fell I didn’t fall alone
A fight broke out in the parlor
Where we had champagne and cigarettes the night before
And just like a smoke you are a suffocating choke
A habit that I’ll find a way
I’ll find a way to end
