Ashtray Lyrics

soon they are going to close this place...
(there's nothing more to say)
it shows all over my face---
(the clock on the wall is just prancing on)
well... words are coming up in my throat
and i can't avoid that question
do you or don't you at all
do you or don't you at all
do you or don't you at all

my ashtray keeps just staring at me...
red eyeballs
my chin drops into my gin
you've got to tell me how to begin
revealing all the things strangling my head
decorating the air between us with words
and i'm crying to any piece
of sixties' soul at night
only to hide in broad daylight...
this is it... take it away...
i'm se fed up with my situation
i never feel hungry for change
just caressing the notion of coming out...
really coming out
but do you or don't you at all
do you or don't you at all
do you or don't you at all
it could be so fine
but my ashtray shows no perfect match...
(i'm much too weak to stand tall
i'm much too weak to shout out loud...)
