Cigarette

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am nineteen and I'm on my mom's roof It's Arizona how I'm cold and aloof It's a blue morning, the music, the moon You'll never love or be loved like I love you I've yet to hear of jazz or soulful remedies Just the distant dreams of sad melodies Lonely tune, a melancholy lullaby My sleepy sister sings a dreadful goodbye [Pre-Chorus 1] I want to know what I've been keeping inside I want to feel the music between my thighs You know there's someone there when they're chasin' you You know you're someone but can't quite find out who [Chorus] Lord on high Where am I going? Praying hard See him showing Who I'll be [Verse 2] I am twenty and I'm packing my things I live in Chicago and it lives in me I'm in love with all its music and its snow I'm also in love with a girl and her poems [Pre-Chorus 2] I hate to leave but I am chasing success I caught a red-eye out to LAX I kiss my love goodbye and he kisses back My film-noir slowly fades to black [Chorus] Lord on high Where am I going? Praying hard See him showing Who I'll be [Verse 3] The most famous man in the world One photo, eyes like pearls Drakkar, James Bond, white skin Ray-ban, bleach-blond, drug binge And he's driving this Jeep not fast enough speed Does his mind race like mine? Snapped the photo in time I am twenty-one and having some fun Sitting in my Jeep in California I smoke a cigarette I've never had one I suspect it's the first but not last one [Pre-Chorus 3] A bombshell blond girl sits on her balcony A trumpet player with no teeth next to me A tatted woman with a beehive by the trees We all smoke cigarettes till the next reprise [Chorus 2] Cigarette Where am I going? Watch the smoke See it showing Cigarette Somethings growing There's a feel But there's no knowing Who I'll be Cigarette Cigarette Cigarette Cigarette
