Cigarettes & Lies

Cigarettes & Lies - The Lightning Seeds

Written by：Ian Broudie

Open your eyes with a smile at the morning rain

Turn on your mind

And you know what you're going to say

I'm glad you're here and I hope you stay

We'll phone in sick today

Stay in bed and talk all day

For a while we could cast away

Let the hours just drift away

Cigarettes and lies are all there's ever been

You'll never win you should have known by now

Expecting to fly away it's counterfeit

It's not the trip you should be on by now

Searching your mind

Can you find what your looking for

Suprises are fine

If you get what you're wishing for

If you never fly you'll never fall

So love the now 'cause the now is all

Live the life because you can't be sure

Cigarettes and lies are all there's ever been

You'll never win you should have known by now

Expecting to fly away it's counterfeit

It's not the trip you should be on by now

And there were times odd moments we'd steal

When I'd wish that time stood still

Knowing it won't

But hoping it will

I'm hoping it will

Cigarettes and lies are all there's ever been

You'll never win you should have known by now

Expecting to fly away it's counterfeit

It's not the trip you should be on by now

And there were times odd moments we'd steal

When I'd wish that time stood still

Knowing it won't

But hoping it will

I'm hoping it will
