Kisses that sizzled on our lips
Beatnik poets rolled their own
Rich folks had filter tips

We had time enough to live forever
You lit me up with every beer
Devil may care like Bogey and Bacall
With a wink, a flick and a sneer

Now I'm only smoke
A faded second hand joke
Now I'm only smoke

Why am I banned from public places?
Made to hang round outside?
Tell me what it was I did to you
I never cheated and I never lied

Now I'm only smoke
A faded second hand joke
Now I'm only smoke
