lyrics

COURTESY CIGARETTE

We lay our hearts on the line
We don't know what we're doing more than half the time
Spend our days serving undeserving schmucks
Waste our nights then wonder why the streak of such bad luck

I'll just wait safely behind here, watching in silhouette, while you
Line em up, gun em down, no courtesy cigarette

Hot air balloon with a severed rope
Ending up just like our failed attempts to cope
Takes us away and it all seems small
Inevitably we come crashing down and have to pay for it all
It's still a nice dream to dream
Whaddya say we go and blow off some steam
We'll deal with all of this another day
I think we're doing it again and I think that's what we always say
