Lyrics

SMOKE

Late last night
I was hanging on every word
All those shiny compliments
Strung along like a string of pearls

You made promises
you knew you’d never keep
You lit the fire
Left me smoldering in the street

I wish every charming word you spoke
Could disappear like…
Disappear like…

SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE,
BLOW AWAY LIKE SO MANY ASHES IN THE WIND
LIKE WAVES WASHING SAND OFF MY SKIN
LIKE A BAD PUNCHLINE TO A JOKE
WANT YOU TO DISAPPEAR LIKE SMOKE

Don’t call me up
After I watched you take a walk
Now that i know
You’re zero action, all the talk

You’re the kind of player
I thought I’d recognize
But I wasn’t ready for
Your brilliant disguise

And I wish every charming word you spoke
Could disappear like…
Disappear like…

SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE,
BLOW AWAY LIKE SO MANY ASHES IN THE WIND
LIKE WAVES WASHING SAND OFF MY SKIN
LIKE A BAD PUNCHLINE TO A JOKE
WANT YOU TO DISAPPEAR LIKE
SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE
WANT YOU TO DISAPPEAR LIKE
SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE

Oohh - you’re so all or nothing
You started an inferno of false hope
You faded out when I needed someone
that wouldn’t disappear like…
Disappear like…

SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE,
BLOW AWAY LIKE SO MANY ASHES IN THE WIND
LIKE WAVES WASHING SAND OFF MY SKIN
LIKE A BAD PUNCHLINE TO A JOKE
WANT YOU TO DISAPPEAR LIKE
SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE
BLOW AWAY LIKE SO MANY ASHES IN THE WIND
LIKE WAVES WASHING SAND OFF MY SKIN
I WANT THE THOUGHT OF YOU
THE THOUGHT OF YOU
TO DISAPPEAR LIKE….SMOKE
