Watchin' cigarettes burn out 'Til all the neon gets turned out I was so on fire for you it hurts, how Fast as a cigarette can burn out Just watchin' rivers run Down the side of my bottle Almost like it's cryin' my tears Had the world on a string And then I lost everything And that's how I wound up here Watchin' cigarettes burn out 'Til all the neon gets turned out There's nothing left but empty glasses now It's all flashes now The smokin' memory that ain't nothin' but ashes In the low lights These done me wrong songs hit me so right I'm so on fire for you it hurts, how Fast as one cigarette can burn out If you put your hands on the flame You've got no right to complain 'Cause you know it's gonna leave a mark When the glow comes to an end Like scattered embers in the wind Leaves you lookin' for a brand new spark Watchin' cigarettes burn out Now with every hit I'm gonna quit But who am I kiddin'? I just can't put you down So I keep hangin' around Watchin' cigarettes burn out 'Til all the neon gets turned out There's nothing left but empty glasses now It's all flashes now It's a smokin' memory that ain't nothin' but ashes In the low lights These done me wrong songs hit me so right I'm so on fire for you it hurts how Fast as a a cigarette can burn out I was so on fire for you it hurts how Fast as a cigarette can burn out
