One Cigarette

Verse 1

You said you don’t feel like yourself

anymore

Not sure if you should have opened

that door

You said give me some time

So I waited patiently

Had to hear me on the line

it seemed to me

Chorus

In the light of one cigarette

You said you hadn’t figured it yet

So, I laid my heart on the line

But, I didn’t get there in time

Verse 2

Why did you dial 911

if there was never a reason

Why were you so afraid ,

if summer’s you’re favorite season

I heard the big news from a friend of a friend

I should congratulate you

But I’ve nothing to send

Repeat chorus

Bridge

There’s a weight on your chest

There’s something gripping you

A primal instinct you repress

And there’s nothing I can do

Verse 3

I don’t know what to tell you, dear

you never called

I don’t know how to help you, love

against the wall

You’re running out of time

It’s not so clear, you see

The tie around your neck

is a noose in matrimony

Repeat chorus x 2

In the light of one cigarette

I’m afraid, it’s not done with you yet.

In the light…of one cigarette
