lyrics

SO SLOW (TO A CIGARETTE)

I press you gently to my lips
And you don't mind, I make you smaller
I make you smolder and decay
You make me cough just like I'm laughing
And when we're driving in my car
You are exhaust, and I'm exhausting you so slow
So slow - you take my breath away

I'm Humphrey Bogart in the rain
You made the stain on my fedora
In our romantic escapade
You are the dangerous stranger
With a past you won't recall
And I'm your maker's mark
He marked me long ago
That's why you're killing me so slow

You burn me like a pistol black as silt
I'm only here to line your daddy's pockets
Before he dies I swear I'll make him rich
You know I've only got myself to blame

You burn me like a pistol black as tar
I'm only here to line your daddy's pockets
Before he dies I swear I'll make him rich
You know I've only got myself to blame
