I've Smoked Too Much |
More than twice I’ve enjoyed the light of a wrapper |
Rolled it up and blocked out the clatter |
By braving up from the bows of the planet below (?) |
I smoke the world’s problems in a cloak of illusion |
And clarity comes from confusion |
I don’t need much but the sound of a steel guitar |
The sound of my own voice, the bell of a sad cyclone (?) |
Once again I find my toenails need clipping |
My tongue is numb, my nose has been dripping |
I’ve been sniffin' for about a week now |
My hair is lookin' duller and lengthy |
It’s longer, I’ve never looked much like a gangster |
But man, I don’t look like a gangster at all |
There’s a sudden lack of excitement in my day |
All my exhibition’s neighbors have moved away |
I’ve smoked too much, I’ve smoked too much |
And my mind is losing memories of your sweet touch |
My lungs have never felt worse |
That’s sort of a blessing in a curse |
I’m looking through an empty verse and I see |
The cleanness of my dreams all turn to dust. |
Take the time of your life and times it by three |
That’s what we get when we leave the city |
You’re a pretty girl |
But you look better in the country |
We can sense each other’s thoughts all night |
And stare into pupils under the moonlight |
We won’t be apart until one of us is dead |
But which one of us will that be? |
There’s panic running through my head |
I’ve smoked too much, I’ve smoked too much |
And my mind is losing memories of your sweet touch |
My lungs have never felt worse |
That’s sort of a blessing in a curse |
I’m looking through an empty verse and I see |
The cleanness of my dreams all turn to dust |
