Coffee and cigarettes

The glass of coffee will warm only your fingers,
The sweater is warmer than anyone's ever been before.
You could've stayed, but didn't stay,
The coffee went cold a very long time ago.
 
You're looking into the window, already seen all of it,
A wet avenue and it's empty inside.
Here you live, choking on dust,
In a city of words, building floors, and display windows.
 
Coffee and cigarettes
Know our secrets.
Remember our omens1 -
Coffee and cigarettes.
 
Fires are going out somewhere in your eyes,
The last sparks fell on the floor.
Expect rain if you get nightmares,
Expect love if there's a point-blank shot.
 
Be as if Nina, as if Aretha2,
Sing me your sorrowful verse.
Sing, while the cassette of life is spinning.
The time to say 'no' has not yet come.
 
Coffee and cigarettes
Remember our secrets.
Know our omens -
Coffee and cigarettes.
