lirik lagu james cook - mink coat
verse 1)
the city sweats through cheap perfume and diesel
she moves in shadows,makin’ deals with people
a phantom in the alley,silhouette so sharp
could cut the desperation,leave a permanent mark
a hundred~dollar smile,a thousand~yard stare
a consequence of livin’life without a safety net down there
she knows the game,the price, the lonely hour
the fleeting power in a predator’s tower…
but tonight,the rain is fallin’ like a blessing in disguise
hides the hollow in her eyes,a temporary enterprise
(pre~chorus)
just a sip of courage,hennessy and coke
a whispered conversation,a very subtle joke
then she stands up straight,and the atmosphere just changes
a queen amid the rubble,rearranges all the angles
(chorus)
mink coat and cigarette smoke, whiter than ivory soap
she sips on hennessy and coke, givin’ tricks hope for a c~note
the empire of a single glance, a twisted kind of romance
yeah, i put her in that mink coat… the concept: mink coat
(beat emphasizes heavily on “mink coat”)
(verse 2)
she talks in futures,”baby, just another week”
while countin’past dues, the future’s looking bleak
the soap can’t scrub the city from her skin,the scent remains
a ledger of the pleasures,and the losses, and the pains
that coat’s her armor,it’s her fiction, it’s her fact
a touch of class you can’t subtract in the transactional act
from the neon sign’s reflection in a puddle on the street
to the rhythm of the heartbeat when the business is complete
it’s colder than the winter,but it’s all that she can hold
a story bought and sold,in threads of black and gold
(pre~chorus)
another sip of courage,the ice is gettin’ thin
another prince approaches with a confident,thin grin
she draws the fur around her like a curtain on a stage
and turns another page in the book of silent rage
(chorus)
mink coat and cigarette smoke, whiter than ivory soap
she sips on hennessy and coke, givin’ tricks hope for a c~note
the empire of a single glance, a twisted kind of romance
yeah, i put her in that mink coat… the concept: mink coat
(bridge)
(beat strips down to just the melancholic piano, rain, and crackle. vocals are closer, more intimate, almost spoken.)
and who am i?
the narrator in the corner of the room
the one who saw the beauty in the gloom
the one who provided the symbol,the skin
knowing the transformation only works from within
is it a gift?or is it just a loan?
a heavier weight than she’s ever known
the concept’s perfect…but the woman’s tired
trapped in the very thing she once desired
(outro)
(beat comes back in, slower and even more dragged. the piano and vocal sample are dominant.)
mink coat…drag of the cigarette…
ashes fall like snow,on a memory she can’t forget
hennessy brown,in a glass that’s never clean
a silver~screen dream,in a world that’s mean
the concept,mink coat…
yeah…
the concept…
