Cigarettes

You know that you're tired and feeling alone
Wrapped in a ball with the plug from the phone
Lying in bed with a cigarette

All of the flowers have died in the vase
All that we are will remain in the past
It's unresolved come to think of it

You stood by the bed awake at night
Watching the colours taking flight
They are sailing on a long forgotten wave, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
This isn't how it used to be
When all your thoughts and forms were free
Now they seem so lost to me
Into these mysteries

Oh, forget it, oh, wait a minute
Oh, I know you by the games you play
It gives me something to say to you now you're gone
You had to go and say the worst
The cruel things that I fell in love
And never noticed all the things that you were

And still by the bed awake at night
Watching the colours taking flight
I hope you join them on their long forgotten wave
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
This is the cruellest irony that as your thoughts and forms are free
The curse you've left is killing me
To hell your legacy

Into the next life, whatever feels right, won't mean it is right, it won't mean a thing
Just take it or leave it, all you believe in, and lean on in this life, it won't mean a thing
Into the next life, whatever feels right, won't mean it is right, it won't mean a thing
Just take it or leave it, all you believe in, lean on in this life
Yeah, it won't mean a thing, not a thing, not a thing, not a thing
Oh, yeah
What's the minute, wait a minute, what's the minute wait a minute? Etc
Not a thing, not a thing etc
Just take it or leave it
Lean on in this life
It won't mean a thing, not a thing
