Smoked my last cigarette
Sat in bed for a while

Burning up time
Cigarette, cigarette
Watch the smoke climb
Cigarette, cigarette
Wasting away
Just like this cigarette
Our time is running down
Only one hour til you're leaving this town
Smoked my last cigarette
Sat in bed for a while
Thought of your face and it brought me a smile
