Frost upon these cigarettes
Lipstick on the window pane and I've

Apperently this was a origonally an in studio cock up of the orignal "lipstick on my cigerette, frost upon the window pain" from the first chorus.

Two roars of a big machine"

No, hey, seriousy, the woman that cleans my house, her daughter's 2nd boyfriend knew this dude she hang out with at the bar whose dad was the orthodontist of the niece of the sound engineer during the Hull recordings. And that chap said so too!
AMAZING!

sounds feasible, but i like the word-play anyway

i also think the mixed up lyric increases the sense of bewilderment and torment you can feel in von's voice...

I always thought it was deliberate and typically "Vonesque"

I would agree with QB and Stoat Grinder, if they used to share a cigarette together before then in that train of thought the cigarette felt warm (as in affection), but now the cigarette doesn't have the same feeling so it feels cold as in he's feeling numb.
The lipstick on the window pain could refer to he's now on the outside of her life looking in.
He is tormented so he does feel numb (cold).
