Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk

Artists : Rufus Wainwright : Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk

Cigarettes and chocolate milk
These are just a couple of my cravings
Everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger
A little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me

If I should buy jellybeans
Have to eat them all in just one sitting
Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter
A little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me

And then there's those other things
Which for several reasons we won't mention
Everything about 'em is a little bit stranger
A little bit harder, a little bit deadly

It isn't very smart
Tends to make one part so brokenhearted

Sitting here remembering me
Always been a shoe made for the city
Go ahead accuse me of just singing about places
With scrappy boys' faces
Have general run of the town

Playing with prodigal sons
Takes alot of sentimental valiums
Can't expect the world to be your Raggedy Andy
While running on empty
You little old doll with a frown

You got to keep in the game
Retaining mystique while facing forward
I suggest a reading of 'A Lesson In Tightropes'
Or 'Surfing Your High Hopes', or 'Adios Kansas'

It isn't very smart
Tends to make one part so brokenhearted

Still there's not a show on my back
Holes or a friendly intervention
I'm just a little bit heiress
A little bit Irish, a little bit

Tower of Pisa
Whenever I see ya
So please be kind
If I'm a mess
