Discount Cigarettes

It’s a back bent sideways crying on the floor

Reaching through the dark

Get so close but miss the mark

You say I look tired I mean how’d you figure it

Circle k and discount cigarette

Peel cap, then fill to the fine line, then stir

One day I’ll be dressed in fine fur

So tell ‘em play a country song

‘Bout as sad as life is long

Play another song about whiskey

A song to make you miss me

I’m quiet and I’m listening

Still there’s something missing

There’s a hiss from papa’s cassette,

Still smells like discount cigarette

I see a rib cage breaking backwards

Opens like a door, let’s in something bright

Jesus Christ’s eternal light

You say I look thin, pale-skinned, and sleepy

Sweet dreams but they always leave me

Brand new 2010 put it all on visa

Next year buy the Mona Lisa

Tell ‘em play a country song

‘Bout as sad as life is long

Play another song about whiskey

A song to make you miss me

I’m quiet and I’m listening

Still there’s something missing

There’s a hiss from papa’s cassette

Still smells like discount cigarette

Tell ‘em play a country song

‘Bout as sad as life is long

Play another song about whiskey

A song to make you miss me

I’m quiet and I’m listening

Still there’s something missing

There’s a hiss from papa’s cassette,

Still smells like discount cigarette

Discount Cigarette
