Smoking - a song

Strumming my pain with its poison
Stinging my life with each hit
Killing me softly with each drag
Killing me softly with each pull
Stealing my whole life with each dose
Killing me softly with each puff

Fags remain my best friend
On whom I can rely
I panic if I can't get them
This I cannot lie
And there it is this white stick
Willing me to die

Strumming my pain with its poison
Stinging my life with each hit
Killing me softly with each drag
Killing me softly with each pull
Stealing my whole life with each dose
Killing me softly with each puff

I felt all flushed with fever
Like I could barely breathe
I found I coughed my guts up
Ran to the loo to heave
I pray that I will finish
But I just keep right on

Strumming my pain with its poison
Stinging my life with each hit
Killing me softly with each drag
Killing me softly with each pull
Stealing my whole life with each dose
Killing me softly
With each puff

It's like my life don't matter
In all my dark despair
Stick the warnings in my cupboard
Then pretend that they aren't there
The fags just keep on calling
Calling clear and strong

Strumming my pain with its poison
Stinging my life with each hit
Killing me softly with each drag
Killing me softly with each pull
Stealing my whole life with each dose
Killing me softly with each puff

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Killing me softly with each drag
Killing me softly with each pull
Stealing my whole life with each dose
Killing me softly
With each p.....
