E D A
I used to smoke all day
from when the sun came up to when I hit the hay
I was always giving up
But I could never resist just one more suck
There was once a man I knew
Who’d lived in the desert under skies so huge
He said he’d seen more than he could explain
The sky an endless dream of a mad god’s brain
He said ‘out there you feel you could disappear
Just the cows and your smokes in the infinite air
I was alone deep inside my own head’
sometimes a cigarette is your only friend’
I sometimes think about John
I’ll bet he’s still smokin in the great beyond
Sittin down and spinning his yarns
Laugh like a saw in a thick brown cloud of tar
Sayin ‘people come and go but you’re alone in the end,
sometimes a cigarette is your only friend
Just me and my cigarettes under eons of stretching/roiling air
He said ‘Well people come and go but you’re alone in the end’
‘Just
huddled down together in the infinite throbbing air
He said ‘Well people come and go but they all leave you in the end’
He said ‘sometimes a cigarette is your best friend’
but I was never ready yet
Half of the enjoyment came from rolling them up
And then there was that first long
Than he had words in his head to clearly describe
But he had visions in his head …?
He said he felt he could disappear
