Drinking Coke and Eating Ice

That's her over in the corner
Drinking Coke and eatin' ice
Twisting her hair up on her finger
Does the memory serve you right

The cigarette machine she's leaned on
Remembers more than most of us
We hide 'em both under a blanket
When the health department comes

Formal living room and dining
Separate family room and den
It took walls to drive her crazy
It took space to drive her in

Swimming pool's a nice distraction
So is Vicodin and wine
A week-long ocean front vacation
Feel like a pirate for a time

Ever distant destinations
Never ending gasoline
Every man a simple [corner/coroner?]
Every girl a simple queen

Giant screens with skies exploding
Thumping bass and power chords
We got a preacher if you're listening
He'll play his guitar if you're bored
