Lyrics

Cigarette

[Verse 1]

Just when I think I've got it made

And Fate appears around the corner

My friends arrive and form a line

They all compete to fuck me over

[Refrain]

Please save me from myself and rescue me from everyone I know

Please save me from myself and rescue me from everyone I know

Please save me from myself and rescue me from everyone I know

Please save me from myself and rescue me from everyone I know

[Verse 2]

Just when I think I'll make the grade

And all my darkest days are over

It's always then to my dismay

My friends arrive and it's all over

[Refrain]

Please save me from myself and rescue me from everyone I know

Please save me from myself and rescue me from everyone I know

Please save me from myself and rescue me from everyone I know

Please save me from myself

[Chorus]

Don't forget

That I need you around

Like I need another

Cigarette

I need you

Like a hole in the head

Like I need another

Cigarette, cigarette, cig-cigarette

[Verse 3]

Just when I think I've got it made

And Fate appears around the corner

My friends arrive and form a line

They all compete to fuck me over

[Refrain]

Please save me from myself and rescue me from everyone I know

Please save me from myself

[Chorus]

Don't forget

That I need you around

Like I need another

Cigarette

I need you

Like a hole in the head

Like I need another

Cigarette

Don't forget

That I need you around

Like I need another

Cigarette

I need you

Like a hole in the head

Like I need another

Cigarette, cigarette, cig-cigarette

[Outro]

Here I go

Far away from the long, long lows

Drifting overhead, here I go

Drift away with the smoke
