Sing the story back to me 

So I can know my end 

And taste the flavours danger filled 

Falling from your hands 

Falling from your hands 

I'm slipping away, and I don't know 

The rest of my life was years ago 

It leaves you when you lose the glow 

Of love and cigarettes 



I'm slipping away, and I don't mind 

The best of my life is far behind 

And so, you take your wage 

Trade all that you can find 

For love and cigarettes 



Is this another you-centric song 

To keep you warm when winter comes 

I've got a demographic 

How could it go wrong 

Frail toxin boy playing in the sun 



You're holding my hand, but I'm not there 

The rest of my life was leading me nowhere 

Nowhere 

And all I found were a thousand lines of care 

And love 

And cigarettes 

Love and cigaretts 

So take all that you need 

But baby, don't forget 

Love and cigarettes
