Little Beirut - Cigarette Girls Lyrics

I pinned the corsage through the chiffon
I could see through the dress she had on
She could tie a cherry knot
With the tip of her tongue
I’ll bring her back by 10 O’clock
Don’t leave the light on, on, on
But I know that record plays all night
Angels in Heaven
Twirling their curls
I’m sixes and sevens
My Cigarette Girl
Oh, the record played all night
I remember coming on strong
‘Cause it felt too good to be wrong
She’s alive! She’s bonafide!
Singing my song
But now I don’t tell anyone
That feeling’s been gone so long
And I know that record’s all I’ve got
Reeking of Mickeys and my dad’s cologne
Slept in her doorway, carry me home....
