Cigarettes Will Kill You

[Verse 1: Jane Tyrrell]

You throw me in a pan

You cook me in a can

You stretch me with your hands

You love to watch me bake

You serve me up with cake

And that's your big mistake

Your friends comes dressed smart

You offer a la carte

You didn't have the heart


[Chorus: Solo & Jane Tyrrell]

And I want a TV embrace

And I, I'm getting off the boiling plate

They swore you'd steal my steam

To feed your dream

And then be gone

I wish I could say that everyone was wrong


[Verse 2: Solo]

You left me ripped and teared

You left me burned and seared

And older than my years

I should have know at first

That you would leave me hurt

You had to try dessert

No way to let off steam

Don't bother milk or cream

No way to let off steam


[Chorus: Solo & Jane Tyrrell]

And I want a TV embrace

And I, I'm getting off the boiling plate

They swore you'd steal my steam

To feed your dream

And then be gone

I wish I could say that everyone was wrong


[Verse 3: Solo]

They say cigarettes will kill you

Well yeah, everybody knows that

I read it in the paper, seen it on the news

Shit, they even print it on the pack

And in spite of that, it's an age old fact

That fatal attraction that we all have

Same as the moth to the flame

How we keep on coming back

And I wish I could say everyone was wrong

They were right long before Ben wrote the song

And that's my big mistake

Cause I'm past my used-by date, so goodbye

You ain't gonna see me again baby

But I still want my TV embrace

Horrorshow, JT, if you dig let me hear you say


[Bridge: Solo & Jane Tyrrell]

It must feel good to stand above me

While I make you so proud of me

It must feel good that I'm now gone

I wish I could say that everyone was wrong

I wish everyone was wrong

I wish everyone was wrong

I wish everyone was wrong

I wish everyone was wrong

I wish everyone was wrong
