i need to light my cigarette
puff away the cloud in my head
look back on my memoir and regret
for the things that i should do instead
i need to light my cigarette
to forget the words that she said
the first day that we have met
and it’s last that i totally dread
i need to light my cigarette
keep calm and lie down on my bed
a heart filled with anguish and fret
will rest with tears that are unshed
i need to light my cigarette
whisper my prayer for the dead
smoke comes up a message has sent
finally it comes to an end
