My two best friends are like toffee and cinnamon
Sweet on their own. Yet together, expensive
One gets me off my feet, the other's so offensive
My two best friends are like toffee and cinnamon
Creating the sweetest lie that I’m living in
My two best friends have me coughing continuous
As I sip in. Breathe out
Coffee and Cigarettes
I sing this softly beause it’s hard to speak consonants
This smoke filled breeze is costly
Getting across my two cents is often off-beat
Once the monster speaks, I’m at least thirty packs deep
Doing the math clearly adds up steep
And once matched with caffeine, I can’t just sleep
Increasing serotonin, band-aiding every jones
Instead of being bold, I figure that’s just me
A case of reaping what hasn’t been sowed
Approaching a steep cliff, affixed to a weak stronghold
Even when your feet are fixed, once fixated
That nicotine itch breaks a stitch mixed with hatred
Hence this displacement, hence complacent
Attitudes grabbing you in slow motion like the Matrix
Dodging bullets carrying cancer
Hoping they're not lodged in your gullet
Ending your life and last words
I tend to overstep boundaries, smashing lovely
With every piece of my soul
Keep seeking that Old Gold while rolling my own
Knowing the end of each smoke will only lead into the trash heap
I won’t pass up until I pass out
I’m a lifer without a filter until the last butt is tapped out
I’m both on the fence and off the wagon again
Watching ashes fall from this puff magic dragon, my pen
Coffee and Cigarettes, Coffee and Cigarettes [cough, cough]
My two best friends!
Coffee and Cigarettes, Coffee and Cigarettes
Sip in, breathe out!
Coffee and Cigarettes, Coffee and Cigarettes [cough, cough]
My two best friends!
Coffee and Cigarettes, Coffee and Cigarettes
Sip in, breathe out!
They’re my “besties," my gems
My deepest-seeded weaknesses stress-reliever, freak-bitches
On which I depend
Keeping them secret, washing them down
Until the mug is empty except for stains and coffee grounds
Hiding the smell like nobody but I can tell
I’ve been cheating my immune system while lying to myself
Chalking it up as a habit, denying this is an affliction
Willpower soft as a rabbit, yet hard-headed and addicted
No kidding. Warning signs flash by, we won’t listen
We’ll let the cash fly, snowball into the growth of a cyst
And treat it like we’re just "victims of the system"
Puffing legalized crack pipes
Flic-a-Bic spokesmen, choking on Nicorette
Overindulging in the effects of Chantix and Wellbutrin
This manic depressive, candid confession
Should stand as a message to anyone this stupid
Call us Mad Men, suit and tied
Taking advice for granted
Ignoring those landmines with objection
Any excuse will outweigh tries to tell us it smells putrid
Leaving cries muted like pantomimes
I put my cash up until I’m cached out
A griper without a filter until I’m so amped that I pass out
I’m both on the fence and off the wagon again
Watching ashes fall from this utter tragic expense
I smoked my first cigarette
When I was around about five, or six
My reaction to my first buzz was so indicative
Of a pattern of captivity I'd have to deal with
I didn't figure out until about
Around a decade and a half later
That the restorative, combo effect
Of a cup of coffee and a cigarette
Is my number one, top favorite flavor
Coffee and Cigarettes, Coffee and Cigarettes [cough, cough]
My two best friends!
Coffee and Cigarettes, Coffee and Cigarettes
Sip in, breathe out!
Coffee and Cigarettes, Coffee and Cigarettes [cough, cough]
My two best friends!
Coffee and Cigarettes, Coffee and Cigarettes
Sip in, breathe out!
Sip in
The sweetest lie I'm living in
Breathe out
Coffee and Cigarettes
Sip in
The sweetest lie I'm living in
Breathe out
Coffee and Cigarettes
