Cigarette - The Smithereens

Smoked my last cigarette

Sat in bed for a while

Thought of your face, and it brought me a smile

Wanted another one

Fell back asleep, instead

Woke and found you sitting there on the bed

Cigarette, cigarette

Burning up time

Cigarette, cigarette

Watch the smoke climb

Cigarette, cigarette

Wasting away

Just like this cigarette

Our time is running down

Only one hour til you’re leaving this town

Went to the corner store

Bought us another pack

Held my arm around you as we headed back

I tried to change your mind

Didn’t want you to go

I want you more, it seems, than you could ever know

Cigarette, cigarette

Burning up time

Cigarette, cigarette

Watch the smoke climb

Cigarette, cigarette

Wasting away

Just like this cigarette

Our time is running down

Only one hour til you’re leaving this town

Smoked my last cigarette

Sat in bed for a while

Thought of your face and it brought me a smile
