Four Cigarettes Lyrics



you are the end, you are the light,

you are the reason I'm up late tonight

I think about you sleeping with your legs on my side

of the bed and you're dreaming putting up a fight



against the world and what we know is right

we'll break away somehow I'll be running at your side



we need to get away get away to someplace

that nobody's ever bothered about

and everything we do and everything we say

will be the first time it's ever happened that way



we're four cigarettes away from having to leave the house

got to make them last till the sun goes down

waiting for the dark so we can come to life

waiting for a laugh or lightening to strike



and I just remembered I've forgot where I am

just had a nightmare that I stopped dreaming

so what happened there? and where did that go?

I've sweated out ambition done with longing gone fishing



in a river that is dry through a land that is age-ing

de-accelerating, quietly deflating



you know I'm trying to find my way

I don't remember luck, I don't remember luck

I remember failure, after failure after failure,

I'm drinking too much, I'm running away
