Sharing Cigarettes

(album: Pure Adulterated Joy - 2014)

Cut your nose to make your bed
Now you have to lie in it alone
With all the curtains closed
Spite your face with interest
Scratching around to find just
what you owe to the debt you owe
D'ya think I came round here
just to tame your heart?
You made a devil's deal
You sold my soul
The only one you owned
If I could bleed and write a cheque
In my blood to stop this mess I would
Oh I would if I could
You're standing on a pedestal
like the winner of some TV show
You're clinging to our history
like Berlin to their wall
I can't keep a candle burning at both ends til' its gone
The light's gone out so I'll be heading home
Just to another one
Love is sharing cigarettes
Kiss my lips and take a breath
Pour your ashy love into my heart
Love is til' death do us part
Take my hand lets make a start
You took my every breath away
You took my breath away.
