Chris Orrick Smoke Rings
[Verse 1]
I like to dream about the pretty things
I like to drink until I fall asleep
Now I could never blow a smoke ring
I got some secrets that I know you'll keep
Cause me and you will probably live forever
I wish that I could buy you nice shit
And if a moment comes that we should sever
You can imagine how my nights get
Instead I think about a lake cabin
Where nobody else could bother us
I used to think about how fate happens
I think I'm born with my father's luck
See you and me will be forever young
While our bodies sit and rot away
One day I'll learn to blow a smoke ring and run
I got a feeling that it's not today
[Hook]
And when they find us on the beach with a smiling summer breeze, we can remind them of their dreams
And when the rest of them are left with a hole up in their chest, we can know we did our best
We dream about love, we dream about life, we dream about us, we dream about nights
Where I can just escape, we can run away
If nothing else, motherfucker, I dream
[Verse 2]
Nobody told us how it all would end
Every story ends in disappointment
Hang out with strangers that I call my friends
The ride is over, hope that you enjoyed it
I used to be a sentimental guy
I used to think about a happy future
A happy wife and a happy life
Look at that bullshit that you're doing to her
I went to pay a visit to my mother's grave
They'll feel the same shit at another wake
And still we never put a gravestone
Just an angel that the weather ruined
Maybe they'll make a film about me
But I live a boring sitcom
One day I'll learn to blow a smoke ring
For now, I'm fine getting shit on
[Hook]

"So after all is said and done
After all the complaining and the crying and all the f..cking bullshit
Is this all there is?"
