[Verse 1]
Not every cigarette is a dead, dead thing
Some have a mind and try to be other things
Pushed in the pack, they crave some Virginia air
Softly, they pray to someone, but life ain't fair
[Pre-Chorus]
They're born to lose
They're born to fill
The lungs of Jack
The lungs of Jill
And like I said
Life just isn't fair
[Chorus]
Nicotina
Nicotina
Nicotina is her name
[Verse 2]
Once in a while a cigarette has a name
N-I-C-O-T-I-N-A, that's her name
She had a tiny voice, and she sang all day
She was a cigarette, but she loved to play
[Chorus]
Nicotina
Nicotina
Nicotina is her name
[Bridge]
A man with a cough
Stepped to the machine
Dropped coins in the slot
The end of a dream
[Verse 3]
He ripped the pack and coughed, and then coughed again
Popped out a cigarette, and we're near the end
She screamed and screamed but so much was filtered out
Now Nicotina's only a tiny cloud
[Refrain]
Nicotina's gone, but life goes on though
Nicotina's gone, but life goes on though
Nicotina's gone, but life goes on and on and on and on and on
Nicotina (On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on)
[Outro]
Nicotina
