Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk

Lyrics
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 a lot 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

Cigarettes and chocolate milk Cigarettes and chocolate milk
