There will be the time for words And there will be the time for you to say you understand But now it's my time in the sun and I will say That I don't pay to play Get paid to say What idols may I lead the way I do the best I can My heart is in your hands I do the best I can My heart is in your hands Cigarettes each day Just burn my thoughts away Cigarettes each day Burn my mind away There will be time for now And there will be the time for you to say you've found your place But now it's my time in the shade and I will say That I have got the plan So understand Understand, understand I do the best I can My heart is in your hands I do the best I can My heart is in your hands Cigarettes each day Just burn my thoughts away Cigarettes each day Burn my mind away No heartbreaks No earthquakes No straight place Just straight face You can't say that You don't mean that And I won't take that Anymore No heartbreaks No first place No straight ace No first place And you can't say that You don't mean that And I won't take that Anymore I'm living on the floor And you don't know what's more And one step from the street Is close enough for me Cigarettes each day Burn my mind way Cigarettes each day Take my thoughts away
