Cigarettes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cigarettes, cigarettes and cheap champagne Watching movies in the dark but really listening to the rain Jealousy, two years of tainted history Swallowed whole can dig a hole deeper then any cemetery Can't wear you out 'cause you're solid gold Cigarettes, old regrets they can't compete With where we are now counting stars and all the cars out on the street Don't understand, can't understand just what you see A pioneer, a vagabond or just a case of charity Can't wear you out 'cause you're solid gold [Chorus] If I could just shut up, we could get down Pretend we're the only ones alive in this town If I could only laugh, if I could only breathe If I could only change one thing [Verse 2] Cigarettes, cigarettes and cheap champagne Watching movies in the dark but really listening to the rain Don't understand, can't understand why you believe That piles of bills won't break your will until the day you set me free Can't wear you out 'cause you're solid gold [Chorus] If I could just shut up, we could get down Pretend we're the only ones alive in this town If I could only laugh, if I could only breathe If I could only change one thing I wouldn't have held you from holding me [Bridge] (You belong to me You belong to me You belong to me You belong to me) You're safe right here, you're safe right here You belong to me You're safe right here, you're safe right here You belong to me Save your breath, we're the only guarantee [Chorus Out] If I could just shut up, we could get down Pretend we're the only ones alive in this town If I could make you laugh, if I could make you scream I shouldn't have held you from holding me If I could just shut up, we could get down Pretend we're the only ones alive in this town If I could only laugh, if I could only breathe If I could only change one thing If I could just shut up, we could get down (You belong to me) Pretend we're the only ones alive in this town (You belong to me) If I could only laugh, if I could only breathe (You belong to me) If I could only change one thing I wouldn't have held you from holding me If I could only change one thing
