The Lightning Seeds Lyrics
"Cigarettes And Lies"

Open your eyes
With a smile at the morning rain
Turn on your mind
And you know what you're going to say
I'm glad you're here and I hope you stay

We'll phone in sick today
Stay in bed and talk all day
For a while we could cast away
Let the hours just drift away

Cigarettes and lies are all there's ever been
You'll never win, you should have known by now
Expecting to fly away, it's counterfeit
It's not the trip you should be on by now

Searching your mind
Can you find what your looking for?
Surprises are fine
If you get what you're wishing for

If you never fly you'll never fall
So love the now because the now is all
Live the life because you can't be sure

Cigarettes and lies are all there's ever been
You'll never win, you should have known by now
Expecting to fly away, it's counterfeit
It's now the trip you should be on by now

And there were times, odd moments
We'd deal when I'd wish that time stood still
Knowing it won't but hoping it will
I'm hoping it will
