Cheap Smokes (And Thirty Years) Lyrics

I take a breath

But what can I say?

I let the time just roll on by

Take it back to Californ-I-a

You thought you'd catch her

But you were stuck in the rye

The silhouette's in a plastic bottle

But have I been here before?

The picture's clear

But the colors are mottled

Is the guilt just my decor?

But wait

What did you say?

Was it to worship or to occult?

Where did you go on the judgement day

Did you rise or fall and sulk?

I can't seem to shake this feeling

Your moral has started to bleed

Speaking words but was she lying?

You only see what you're wanting to see

And all the condescending

I hope you're doing okays

The charges are impending

Requesting more delays

A joyous gleeful ending

Or debilitating fears?

The doctor's recommending

Cheap smokes and thirty years

No more opinion discretion

But maybe words don't come out right

Your charity since it's inception

Manipulates with fear in delight

Attenuate your kindred spirits

Or be forsaken by the herd

The tendencies that I exhibit

They just can't be deterred

And all the condescending

I hope you're doing okays

The charges are impending

Requesting more delays

A joyous gleeful ending

Or debilitating fears?

The doctor's recommending

Cheap smokes and thirty years
