about

An ode to the Devil Sticks

lyrics

Dear cigarettes, how you take my breath away
Dear cigarettes, how you maintain my sultry day
Dear cigarettes, burn you down rolling in the hay
Oh my cigarettes, best addiction I've yet today

I bought you for my last 25 dollar note
My 'rents say that I'm going to die if I smoke
But I just say that, ha, I've got hope
No my cigarettes, no you won't kill me until I say so

How well you taste with a bottle of red wine
No I'm not lonely baby, I'm just fine
Dance you down slowly, hold me, with your warm breath
and when I'm done with you then I'll move onto your other friends

I bare your holes in pretty much all my clothes
and I wear your smell everywhere I go
Now if that ain't love, well I, I just don't know
No my cigarettes, oh you won't kill me until I say so

No my cigarettes, oh you won't kill me until I say so
