Monsoon Perfume

Karaoke is playing

words roll across the screen

I stand here with my eyes closed

I know this song like a dream

Pink tissues on the table

twist into a rose

in the dim lights of this bar room

no body knows, no body knows

Reach out and wake me up

Cause I'm drowning in a monsoon of perfume

The flower that you made for me

Is melting in a monsoon of perfume

Shrimp chips and cashews

One more toast to the night

A bouquet of flowers

Twisted too tight

Sipping warm Ankor

Poured over ice

Stuck in a puddle

Of sweet sticky rice

No body knows
