Love Affair

Finish your last cigarette You puff it into silhouettes When did you become so old Another year sinks in like smoke On the couch in a dark room Smell nicotine through her perfume Forget her name as she just talks She's out the door once you get off But all the cigarettes in London couldn't buzz you out tonight Behind silver smoke You've always loved to hide And all the people who once knew you only know you disappear Yellow-handed ghost You're choking like loner on this love affair At the corner stand, you wait It's pouring down fat beads of rain You buy three packs that come as one Warning underneath your thumb You laugh 'cause life is just a joke Exhaling rasps climb up your throat Since you've burnt all your bridges down No one watches you burn out But all the cigarettes in London couldn't buzz you out tonight Behind silver smoke You've always loved to hide And all the people who once knew you only know you disappear Yellow-handed ghost You're choking like loner on this love affair And all the company you keep Fits in your fingertips Every drag you breathe in deep Kissing cigs like finally you found someone who gets it But all the cigarettes in London couldn't buzz you out tonight In your silver cloak You've always loved to hide And all the people who once knew you only know you disappear But you're somewhere Choking like a loner on this love affair Finish your last cigarette you puff it into silhouettes When did you become so old Another year sinks in like smoke
