In a smoke-filled room
With your father watching me
There's three doors and no keys
It's rising, it's choking me
In a smoke-filled room (x2)
There's a man with no face
Just a blurred-out portrait
In a photo frame
I'm losing again, I'm losing
My friend is face down on the pavement
Then a woman, she screams 'It's terrible night'
As the mood changes to dark from light
Tell the doctor what's become of me
So he can analyse, analyse my dreams
Of a smoke-filled room (x3)
Then we kiss and his lips turn into sand
And the whole of him cascades through my hands
Making a castle on the floor
Then I'm alone again
No keys and three doors
In a smoke-filled room
Now we're both in the room
And we're breathing the fumes
No doors this time, just a gap in the roof
Light floods in, heaven, we're blind
Then slowly suffocating, we're dying
In a smoke-filled room
We're dying in a smoke-filled room
We're dying in a smoke-filled room
(Instrumental)
