I remember my first like it will be my last
With a crumpled up pouch that everybody passed
I had not a clue nor the actions to do
For a girl stood beside me showed me the move
As euphoria hit and I thought I could quit
The taste was so good that it would forever stick
Another day grinning that I wasn't dead
As I watched all my close friends turn to drugs instead
Now my clothes all have marks from all the burn holes
I didn't know of the powers that this thing controls
And when we run out oh we'd scratch and we'd yearn
As we'd rip up the old ones just to smell the smoke burn
And all I see is a nicotine dream that keeps talking to me after nine
Another rolled smoke making sure that I choke
All the words that are scrambling my mind
Now it's six years on and I was outdone
The cigarettes found a place they'd won
Coughing and spluttering was all I could do
As my body rejected the black residue
And I'm losing my hair and can't leave my seat
As my body shows me the last steps of defeat
My kids will grow old but I'll have no clue
I know they wont smoke after what it put me through
And all I see is a nicotine dream that keeps talking to me after nine
Another rolled smoke making sure that I choke
All the words that are scrambling my mind
And all I see is a nicotine dream that keeps talking to me after nine
Another rolled smoke making sure that I choke
All the words that are scrambling my mind
