Cigarettes and Housework Lyrics
Rachel Fuller
Miscellaneous
Cigarettes and Housework
My teenage years were full of fear
I spent most of them inside
Sitting on the telephone
Being bitchy and unkind
Wandering from room to room
Trying to leave my self behind
Walking with my eyes closed, pretending to be blind
Naked in the kitchen
I was smoking in the hall
Vacuuming the sofa
Trying to make sense of it all
Sweeping under carpet
All my pain with all the dirt
And the only thing that kept me sane was cigarettes and housework
Cigarettes and housework
Drowning all my sorrows
In an effort to be free
Playing my piano
Writing the requiem for me
Thinking I could clean up all the trouble from yesterday
Or hoping that my cigarette smoke would carry it away
Naked in the kitchen
I was smoking in the hall
Vacuuming the sofa

Trying to make sense of it all
Sweeping under carpet
All my pain with all the dirt
And the only thing that kept me sane was cigarettes and housework
Cigarettes and housework
I had come through the trauma of youth
But once in a while I still find myself
Naked in the kitchen
I was smoking in the hall
Vacuuming the sofa
Trying to make sense of it all
Sweeping under carpet
All my pain with all the dirt
And the only thing that kept me sane was cigarettes and housework
Cigarettes and housework
