Cigarette Girl Testo

He fell in love with a cigarette girlAnd died of a lung tumor
He had talked her down from an overpass
So I guess she got the last last laugh
He used to say
I don't want to be alone forever
But I'm afraid that I might be alone
Forever
Now father the shoreline is a welcome sight
For it brings her blue eyes
But for the ghosts and the gulls I was unprepared
And all my food is flavored with the salt salt air
Now the bottle is empty but still we ride
And I'm in love with an atomic pocketknife
Sour lipped with the sweet the bitter the glass
Hands to our throats for the last laugh last
What did you say
Won't you paint me with those eyes forever
Because I can't bear not to be
Painted with those eyes forever
Not to be painted with those eyes forever
Still there must be a light
Because I just can't seem to get
The darkness right
How's that you say
Won't you paint me with those eyes forever
Because I can't stand not to be
Painted with those eyes forever
Not to be painted with those eyes forever
