kd lang's new CD, Drag, contains 12 songs with cigarette references. kd lang has never smoked

kd lang cd

her burly swimmer's shoulders

her open prairie sound

k carpenter / r orbison

confuses first-time round

she hails from alberta

the home of v o five

(a less successful singer

too fragile to survive)

her name, like leonard cohen's,

may crop up on a list

of notable canadians

remembered when half pissed

her voice control's venusian

her soul's an open mine

she might be patsy presley

or is that elvis kline?

i wonder as i listen

to her new cd drag

why she has constant cravings

yet never has a fag?
