Lyrics

Smoke-filled parlor avant-garde
Hunger of the night
Absinthe emerald cold
Vamp pebbled grit of a shagreen coat
Bohemian ghost in the gallery alone

Reigning queen of the shagreen boheme
Ink on her fingers, the frost in her hair
Drunkard poets despair

Vintage sorrow of life
Rough hewn grace of stingray skin
Shadowed in the steam the gutter's canvas
Poverty paradise, the shagreen boheme
