Lyrics Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk - Rufus Wainwright

Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk

Cigarettes and chocolate milk
These are just a couple of my cravings
Everything it seems I like’s a little bit stronger
A little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me
If I should buy jellybeans
Have to eat them all in just one sitting
Everything it seems I like’s a little bit sweeter
A little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me
And then there’s those other things
Which for several reasons we won’t mention
Everything about 'em is a little bit stranger
A little bit harder, a little bit deadly
It isn’t very smart
Tends to make one part
So brokenhearted
Sitting here remembering me
Always been a shoe made for the city
Go ahead accuse me of just singing about places
Where scrappy boys faces have general run of the town
Playing with prodigal sons
Takes a lot of sentimental valiums
Can’t expect the world to be your Raggedy Andy
While running on empty, you little old doll with a frown
You got to keep in the game
Retaining mystique while facing forward
I suggest a reading of A Lesson in Tightropes
Or Surfing Your High hopes, or Adios Kansas
It isn’t very smart
Tends to make one part
So brokenhearted
Still there’s not a show on my back
Holes or a friendly intervention
I’m just a little bit heiress, a little bit Irish, a little bit
Tower of Pisa, whenever I see ya
So please be kind if I’m a mess
Cigarettes and chocolate milk
Cigarettes and chocolate milk
