You Cannot Quit Smoking Lyrics
You cannot quit smoking
The city distracts you
You stare out the window
And watch the smoke lift through the city
It's lifting
You cannot quit smoking
You walk down the hallway
Your hair you keep twisting
You sit by the TV
The action distracts you
The sitcoms are silly
No one likes them really
You can't smoke too much and
You can't tell your family
You can't let them smell it
Because it's unhealthy
Your grandma had cancer so
Don't make dumb choices
You tried to quit once but
You started to get heavy
Your boyfriend won't like it if
You get too heavy
And you like your boyfriend so
You can't quit smoking and
You can't tell your boyfriend
That you wanna keep the baby
You cannot quit smoking
Your eyes on the skyline
When it rains here it's pretty
It feels like the movies
You feel like an actress
Just sitting, inhaling
You like the way actresses
Look when they're smoking
Mysterious windows
Mysterious places
Curled up on your bedspread
With green and white colors
Your hands on your belly
Your belly feels empty
It feels like you're floating (x2)
Like great Macy's floats in parades
By the river
The green colored jewel box
Your grandmother gave you
Is spinning... inside you...
Awake, yet you're dreaming...
Awake on your bedspread
And you can't quit smoking
You see these rules for these

Things in the movies
You smoke cigarettes when
The sex scene is finished
But when is it over, I mean
When is it really finished?
And outside your city is
Rough-edged and endless
You sit by the window and
Suck down your cigarette
Traffic is moving and
Traffic is lifting and
All of these forces are
Rushing and endless
With every decision comes
Less possibility but
But smoking is easy
It says "death I'm coming"
It says you don't own me (x2)
And why are you crying this
Should be so easy
You've got no self-control and
It makes you feel worthless
You always were needy(x2)
Even as a child you took
More than your portion and
God knows right now you don't
Want another cigarette
