Coco Chanel No. 5

I could tell the truth

Or I could tell a lie

Or say the right thing

At the right time

We started out

Writing good letters

Back and forth

Me in Memphis recording

Yours were scented

With Coco No. 5

We wrote stimulating things

I could tell the truth

Or I could tell a lie

Or say the right thing

At the right time

Like I miss you so much

In person and up close

When we fucked and we fought

Away from each other

We could manage to see

Just what it was

Tha we got

In absentia we were better off

Finding new places to stay

Finding new signs of resignation

For the wishes we share

I could tell the truth

Or I could tell a lie

Or say the right thing

At the right time, hey
