Lyrics

Mouth of a Cigarette
c1994 Chris Crabtree - all rights reserved

She was my obsession - she was my pain
I was as vile as burning rain
She was my answer - dancer in my net
A cancer in the mouth of a cigarette

She ran through me like a joke
She looked through me like a veil of smoke
She spoke of me with insincere respect
Like laughter from the mouth of a cigarette

We took a chance and went as high as we could get
But we fell like an ash from the mouth of a cigarette

She folded up - a flower in the night
I became the darkness and faded in the light
She said the one thing that could save us from this death
Was rapture from the mouth of a cigarette

She had no use for fragile things
She suffered my abuse - she wore my ring
She took no comfort in the things she could get
A kingdom for the mouth of a cigarette

She was a drug that took me as high as I could get
But I fell, the butt of a joke, from the mouth of a cigarette
