Marlboro Lights by XC-NN Lyrics
I'm off to spend some time
Off to spend some time
Spend some vouchers
Got to find a well oiled machine
And take my seat amongst the vultures
Play for all those hidden treasures
Somebody turn off those Marlboro Lights
Do I have to take these pills?
They make me feel so drowsy
Do I have to take these pills?
They make me feel so, so very lousy
You read a magazine
And I'll play the fruit machine
Throwing all those pearls I won
Back into the same stream
Somebody turn off those Marlboro Lights
Why are you telling me?
I don't want to know
Got a pocket full of token gestures
And not a well meant penny to spend
Watch for
I don't know when to hold you
And when I should ignore you
I'm helplessly devoted to you
Silly planet lost a bet
Said money cannot sing
The naked planet wants a drink
So I'll buy this round with diamond rings
Beware of your fingers
Somebody turn off those Marlboro Lights
I can see fine without those Marlboro Lights
I can't see a thing for all those Marlboro Lights
I don't need to calm my nerves with Marlboro Lights
And the Billboard Skies
And Tobacco Beaches
Are all beyond my reaches...
Off to spend some time
Spend some vouchers
Got to find a well oiled machine
And take my seat amongst the vultures
Play for all those hidden treasures
Somebody turn off those Marlboro Lights
Do I have to take these pills?
They make me feel so drowsy
Do I have to take these pills?
They make me feel so, so very lousy
You read a magazine
And I'll play the fruit machine
Throwing all those pearls I won
Back into the same stream
Somebody turn off those Marlboro Lights
Why are you telling me?
I don't want to know
Got a pocket full of token gestures
And not a well meant penny to spend
Watch for
I don't know when to hold you
And when I should ignore you
I'm helplessly devoted to you
Silly planet lost a bet
Said money cannot sing
The naked planet wants a drink
So I'll buy this round with diamond rings
Beware of your fingers
Somebody turn off those Marlboro Lights
I can see fine without those Marlboro Lights
I can't see a thing for all those Marlboro Lights
I don't need to calm my nerves with Marlboro Lights
And the Billboard Skies
And Tobacco Beaches
Are all beyond my reaches...
