Burning Itself Away Lyrics

Why does it keep raining down with pain

Collecting in the streets like spilled champagne

Know you'd like to drain it all away

Get rid of the booze and everything they say

But this isn't the sort of trick

You can wake up from and forget

Cause it's already here staring you in the face

It's already here, can't escape

There's a cigarette burning itself away

There's a cigarette burning itself away

You'd like to skip through the days

When it's snowing down cocaine

Shovel all the drifts away

Hope the sun breaks through the haze

But this isn't the sort of trip

You can wake up from and forget

Cause it's already here staring you in the face

It's already here, just seems to stay

There's a cigarette burning itself away

There's a cigarette burning itself today

There's a cigarette burning itself to gray

There's a cigarette burning itself away
