Dia -830

And then, you see, one thing leads always to another and...


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 them is a little bit stranger
a little bit harder
a little bit deadly

It isn't very smart
tends to make one part so broken-hearted

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 songs
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
maintaining 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 broken-hearted

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 you
so please be kind if I'm a mess

Cigarettes and chocolate milk
