The French Inhaler Lyrics

The narrator of the song is the guy who likes the flaky chick. He's had the chick before, but not that night at the end of the song. Norman is just some random dude she goes home with at the end, probably the dude who inhales his cigarettes in the French style. Either the narrator is saying "So Long" and being pissed off, or we are hearing other people saying "So Long", and the narrator is reporting it. Outstanding song.
