My Last Cigarette
K. D. Lang · Drag [Warner Bros.] [1997]
Watching the rain turn to snow
But outside my window
Sometimes the rain falls harder than you'll ever know
Sometimes the things that you love in the night
The morning will choose to forget
I have a habit i have been trying to lose
Everyone thinks that they know what they want
Sometimes your drug chooses you
There are some things that i've promised myself
Things i haven't done yet
It's my last cigarette
This is my last cigarette
Sometimes the people you love in the night
The morning will choose to forget
This is my last cigarette
My last cigarette
This is my last cigarette
My last cigarette
My Last Cigarette
K. D. Lang's "My Last Cigarette" appears on her 1997 album Drag, a record that marked a significant departure from her earlier country-pop roots. The album showcased Lang's willingness to experiment with darker, more theatrical sounds, blending elements of cabaret and alternative rock into her sophisticated vocal delivery. This track fits within a collection of songs that explore themes of intimacy and fleeting moments, characteristic of Lang's introspective songwriting during this era. Her ability to convey complex emotions through subtle phrasing remains a hallmark of her extensive discography. The recording stands as a testament to her versatility, bridging the gap between her established country credentials and her evolving artistic identity in the late nineties.
