Holy Smokes

[Verse 1: Jack Van Cleaf]

Heaven knows

You’ve always been La Vie en rose

Oh, the color when you puckered slow

Four in the morning comes a purple glow

And I kissed too fast

Guess I was worried that this wouldn’t last

Oh the summer in your cheeks brushed past

How the seasons seem to slip through my grasp

[Chorus: Jack Van Cleaf & Vivien Vaucher]

When it comes to the moment, my enjoyment is hopeless

Every time I’m out smokin', my worry is near

But, if I want this so badly, am I just scared to be happy?

I put my faith in the back seat and drive with blind fear

[Verse 2: Jack Van Cleaf, Jack Van Cleaf & Vivien Vaucher]

Holy smokes

Queen of my junior high hopes

Get in your bug and drive yoursеlf back home

Leave mе speechless on the side of the road

'Cause I can put this back down

All the junior high love I found

In a birthday card cut out

Of some memories I’m reading through now

[Chorus: Jack Van Cleaf, Jack Van Cleaf & Vivien Vaucher]

I guess I’m addicted

To pipes and paranoid visions

To guilt over girls I’ve been kissing

And missing the point

Hell-bent on suppressing

All these Godsends and blessings

That come in some form of lesson, and some form of joy

[Verse 3/Outro: Jack Van Cleaf, Jack Van Cleaf & Vivien Vaucher]

You’re leaving Richmond

Never known a girl more driven

Still you'll miss every minute in Britain

All your friends and the wild living

Here comes the end of the season

Bumming smokes off of Jesus

Not every cigarette is a demon

If it feels right, then it’s reasoned
