Cover art for Soft Smoke lyrics by Pink Spiders, The

This song,as the band has strongly alluded to and ofte nsaid outright,is about being in New York City.years ago the band's van broke down in NYC in the winter in the worst blizzard the city ad seen in like 30 years.the "green line down at bleecker and broad" is the subway car they slept on and they got on the station at Bleecker St. and Broadway.The lines about "staten island princess so pretty in pearls" and "these pretty girls and these manhattan apartments" are pretty self-explanatory lol.
