A Cold Stiff Shadow
A candle light
in a dark smokey room
Flames dancing
on the walls across the roof
A twinkling star
high up in the sky
Suddenly falls away
into the space yard of goodbyes
Dreams do die
in the bitter struggle for gain
The last high
usually's never the same
Until it's over
Only the drugs remain
And a cold stiff shadow
Payment for fortune and fame
