Don't Smoke Anymore

lyrics

You are the invitation, I never receive
You are the moderation, exceeding me
You are an old quotation, I read silently
You are my inspiration, in spite of me
You are, you are so shimmery and bright,
Oh I could almost ask you for a light
Even though
I don’t smoke anymore

don’t smoke anymore
don’t smoke anymore
don’t smoke anymore
I don’t smoke anymore, no more

I am the bells and whistles, that suckered you in
I am the sterling silver, really made of tin
I am the dead wreath hanging, on your neighbor’s door
I am your faith in Jesus, that is no more
I am, I am an impossible pipe dream
Burning my whole life, like a fiend
Even though
I don’t smoke anymore

don’t smoke anymore
don’t smoke anymore
don’t smoke anymore
I don’t smoke anymore, no more

You are, you are so shimmery and bright,
Oh I could almost ask you for a light
Even though
I don’t smoke anymore
