Brian Wright - Morning Cigarettes lyrics

It's a long way to the top with your pockets full of sand I saw the Devil on the tele I was playing in the band Your father's eyes were vacant when they came to take the land Baby, what's it gonna take for you to go? On a string around his neck A leper carries both his hands And out over the ocean pilots wonder where to land You know we'd probably live forever If we just follow the plan But, baby what's it gonna take to let it go Well, if you find out honey won't you let me know Another morning cigarette We were born with neither memories nor regret And if I called your name You'd come from miles away I bet You're on your way But you're not here just yet Now the seven saddest soldiers that had ever lost a war You know they shot the sky with rifles in dress blue uniforms Singing Lord if you can't keep him Send him someplace warm Where he doesn't hear the voices anymore They got the different colored pills for different times throughout the day They got the long term side effects, the world has turned to gray The lady at the door just told me God was on his way I told her tell Him to stop by and say "hello" Cause if he's in town there's some folks that would like to know Another morning cigarette
