Cigarettes Will Kill You

R.J. Johnson/B. Lee
You throw me in a pan
You cook me in a can
You stretch me with your hands
You love to watch me bake
You serve me up with cake
And that’s your big mistake
Your guest comes in dressed smart
You offer a la carte
You didn’t have the heart
And I want a TV embrace
And I, I’m getting off your boiling plate
They swore you’d steal my steam to feed your dream
And then be gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
You left me burned and seered
You left me ripped and teared
And older than my years
I should have know at first
That you wouldn’t leave me hurt
You had to try dessert
No way to let off steam
Don’t bother milk or cream
No way to let off steam
And I want a TV embrace
And I, I’m getting off this boiling plate
They swore you’d steal my steam to feed your dream
And then be gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
It must feel good to stand above me While I make you so proud of me It must feel good that I’m now gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
