Lyrics

I know you
You’re the shallow breath that climbs out of my lips
And holds me through
Like a firebreak dams a flame
Then I saw you
On a 5th street bar where stetsons filled the room
And I called you
I watched you through the glass
There is a part of you that always knows
I didn’t see the shot, but you know I heard the echo
I wish that part of me could let you go
Can’t help myself
When I start craving
Cigarette
Cigarette
Taste in my mouth
Taste in my mouth
Cigarette
Cigarette
Ain’t coming out
Ain’t coming out
I can’t quit, even when it makes me sick
I breathe in and carry you home
Cause nothing sticks like cigarette smoke
My friends say
You look like hell, got nothing on your face
Cause I’m chasing
The ghost of my disease
Who will I be
When I get to the end of the question
The ghost becomes me
Or I finally get clean
There is a part of you that always knows
I didn’t see the shot, but you know I heard the echo
I wish that part of me could let you go
I can’t help myself
When I start craving
Cigarette
Cigarette
Taste in my mouth
Taste in my mouth
Cigarette
Cigarette
Ain’t coming out
Ain’t coming out
I can’t quit, even when it makes me sick
I breathe in and carry you home
Cause nothing sticks like cigarette smoke
One day I’ll wake up in the morning
And I’ll want you then
But I won’t need you on my lips
To feel normal again
One day I’ll wake up in the morning
And I’ll want you then
But I won’t need you on my lips
To feel normal again
I’ll run the other way
When I start craving
Cigarette
Cigarette
Taste in my mouth
Taste in my mouth
Cigarette
Cigarette
Ain’t coming out
Ain’t coming out
I can’t quit, even when it makes me sick
I breathe in and carry you home
Cause nothing sticks like cigarette smoke
