just one more vodka on the rocks
my cigarette is burning out
another glass lies shattered on the floor
the radiator's broken down
the band keeps on playing
their modern moody blues
rum & cokes keep on soothing
my dry, parched, scratchy throat

and people come and people go
they say sincerely "i loved the show"
but they don't know you
they can't know you
they'll never know your pain

the telephone keeps on ringing
while my lover's walking out the door
i'm dwelling in self-pity
and just one more vodka on the rocks

and people come and people go
they say sincerely "i loved the show"
but they don't know you
they can't know you
they'll never know your pain

and i guess the game is over
i suppose it was fun while it lasted
the lights are dimming, the bar is closing
but just one more vodka on the rocks
