Lyrics
The smoke fills the room with a fog of deception The dark figures puffing on their rich, fiery indulgements Sipping on their only comfort Letting the time crawl by A creek of the front door stirs the musk Weary eyes turn to observe The door clicks shut Glowing like the moon draped the distant sun Light in the dark, innocent among the guilty She is the lady in red The steps echo against the smooth wood walls as she walks toward the bar Her long, lush hair sways behind her pale, calm face And with a slight tremble of her lips She asks for a glass The bar tender grants her wish Filling the glass with her wishes The room resumes its normal activity The fog grows thick once again The good in the bad A diamond in the sand Lady in red
