7' Cigarette Lyrics

Malcolm Middleton 7' Cigarette

I want to live inside a song, the outside world can't get in
I want to star in a happy ever after
I'm always pulling the needle back to scratch
You were my life and now it's after

I suppose I do feel kind of dead
But I'm frightened of what will happen next

Once this cigarette is finished
Twice this Eva song ends will I take part in a happy ending
Or will I start this song again

I want to live inside a song, the outside world can't get in
I want to star in a happy ever after
I'm always pulling the needle back to scratch
You were my life and now it's after

I suppose I do feel kind of dead
But I'm frightened of what will happen next

Twice this Eva song is finished
Thrice this cigarette end will I take part in a happy ending
Or will I start this song again
These choices are mine, I know,
But then again, what is for the best

And my devil always kicks my angel's arse
But I take sides, it's never a fair contest

And you know all I really want to do is come back to you.
But there's so many hurdles and traps you could stop me in
And I loved you but I can't be bothered
Red sky following my lover
I'll mess you like I'll mess no other
And don't keep me in your heart
I'm pretty thick and unskilled
