Still filling in the empty spaces
Still wondering what to make of all this
This isn't what was advertised, surprise, you're a certified survivor
I've always been a lucky man
But couldn't see it for a new day rising
Couldn't see it through my idealizing
Ignored the only thing that matters
Brush your teeth, comb your hair
Get there safe be aware
Darling don't forget my Cigarettes
I was always just a step behind it
Only living about half the time
But death's become a friend of mine
Another foot up on the latter
I'm sorry if i've been obtuse
Forty years is a lot to lose
Darling don't forget my Cigarettes
I don't want you to live in fear
But I might not be around next year
Darling don't forget my cigarettes
