Nathan Asher And The Infantry - You Cannot Quit Smoking lyrics

You cannot quit smoking The city distracts you You stare out the window And watch the smoke lift through the city It's lifting You cannot quit smoking You walk down the hallway Your hair you keep twisting You sit by the TV The action distracts you The sitcoms are silly No one likes them really You can't smoke too much and You can't tell your family You can't let them smell it Because it's unhealthy Your grandma had cancer so Don't make dumb choices You tried to quit once but You started to get heavy Your boyfriend won't like it if You get too heavy And you like your boyfriend so You can't quit smoking and You can't tell your boyfriend That you wanna keep the baby You cannot quit smoking Your eyes on the skyline When it rains here it's pretty It feels like the movies You feel like an actress Just sitting, inhaling You like the way actresses Look when they're smoking Mysterious windows Mysterious places Curled up on your bedspread With green and white colors Your hands on your belly Your belly feels empty It feels like you're floating (x2) Like great Macy's floats in parades By the river The green colored j**el box Your grandmother gave you Is spinning... inside you... Awake, yet you're dreaming... Awake on your bedspread And you can't quit smoking You see these rules for these Things in the movies You smoke cigarettes when The s** scene is finished But when is it over, I mean When is it really finished? And outside your city is Rough-edged and endless You sit by the window and s** down your cigarette Traffic is moving and Traffic is lifting and All of these forces are Rushing and endless With every decision comes Less possibility but But smoking is easy It says "d**h I'm coming" It says you don't own me (x2) And why are you crying this Should be so easy You've got no self-control and It makes you feel worthless You always were needy(x2) Even as a child you took More than your portion and God knows right now you don't Want another cigarette
