Lyrics for Song: Champagne 
Lyrics for Album: Tenement Symphony [2002]
  
               
  7978>A winter morning sun in New York
  Champagne wakes and checks the time
  It's hard to keep a cup of coffee down
  When there's so much on your mind
 
 
  Kicks a cockroach 'cross the bedroom floor
  Checks the mirror, grabs some clothes
  Waits for the aching to subside
  Where to find it? No one knows
 
 
  And they say you're doing fine
  They're just playing with your mind
  And they never even know your name
  But they all want you to shine, to glitter all the time
  They all want a little taste of Champagne
 
 
  Takes the subway, early afternoon
  Downtown to Eighth Avenue to the Show Palace Theater
  Where Champagne bares all
  In a low rent, nude revue
 
 
  In the darkness, shadow people
  Stare at Champagne glassy eyed
  Takes the tips and imitates a smile
  Waits for the aching to subside
 
 
  And they say you're doing fine
  They're just playing with your mind
  And they never even know your name
  But they all want you to shine, to glitter all the time
  They all want a little taste of Champagne
 
 
  Later in a room, on a little glass pipe
  Sweet dreams to help him forget his life
  He leans on the wall, rolls back his eyes
  And says to all the aching, "Goodbye"
