lyrics
"Smoker"
By you, I mean me, of relative means,
Supplies: a quarter, porter, pork and Boston baked beans
Once lived on Red Bull, vodka, bacon, Luckies, and cocaine
But all a friend can say, I ain’t the same
Classic cliffhanger, the edge of a jagged rut
I was offered a sword to pull myself up
Chorus:
Dance ‘til you’re dead
May your bones never rest
Get out all your lead
First take care of head
So let’s drink ‘til we’re dead
‘Til we’re dry as the dust
Smoke if you must
Unload off your chest
If by you, I mean me, find it hard fast and mean
Like city arteries, clogged and unclean
Open the floodgates, wind-burn off the shame
Strangle-hold steam valve, Full-throttle freight train
Then a moment’s silence for the shattered forgone
For the buried dead who cant sing along
Chorus
To us, this is effortless, we were born here,
More or less
Then this just came to us, happens in the basement,
Happens on the bus
So face two fingers of good taste
When I open up my guitar case
By you, I mean us, know what we want to hear
Will always come from nowhere
Chorus
Smoker! Smoker! You’re a live-wire!
Smoker! Smoker! Spark, smoke, fire!
Smokers eyes the tired fuzz
Smokers brain electric buzz
