Cigarettes & Candles

Intro:
Cigarettes and Candles, don’t get the two mixed up
One you suck in, the other you blow out
Cigarettes and Candles, don’t get the two confused
One’s half way decent the other’s got a screw loose
Cigarettes and Candles, they’re quite different from each other
One’s intact, One’s a quack, both could be imposters
Cigarettes and Candles, don’t get the two mixed up
One you suck in, the other you blow out

Verse 1:
Not a cloud in the sky, only sunny
Laughing at everything that is funny (like my fake ID)
Not a care in the world, I can blow all my money
Splashing in the waves and admiring the ocean
Can see the beach and the city out my window
Strolling past people on the Boardwalk, the wind blowin’
I’ma hit it big in the casino
Didn’t even put a dent in my endless fortune
Cause I’m a master at this game, watch me rake in the dough
Let’s play a game, raise your wage, roll the dice
Have my future told just once or twice
I am living in a world of paradise

Frantic and Pretty

Chorus:
Cigarettes and candles
Strutting down the Boardwalk, I’m the only Fierce Rebel
Check out the slot machines, let’s go gamble
I’m living the high life, put my feet up on the table
Walking on the beach in my sandals
Cigarettes and candles

Candles and Cigarettes
I’ve had too much to drink, baby I am lit
I’ve got a royal flush, so be careful how you place your bet
When I take your ass to town, you can cash my check
Walking along the ocean, my feet are getting wet
Candles and Cigarettes

Verse 2:
Tanning on a balcony in our hotel
Soaking in the atmosphere and collecting shells
Sending pictures of it all to you on my cell
I told you be careful, because with this hand I just won
Settle down for a game of Blackjack or Poker
Is it possible that I am having too much fun
I’m the Lady Luck, of the night, the heavy roller
Sitting in a lawn chair, soaking up so much sun
Man, this is gunna suck when this is over
Russian Roulette or Texas Hold em, how should I spend the last of my cash
Buying souvenirs, shopping around, the time passed fast
How long is this going to last

Chorus:
Cigarettes and candles
Strutting down the Boardwalk, I’m the only Fierce Rebel
Check out the slot machines, let’s go gamble
I’m living the high life, put my feet up on the table
Walking on the beach in my sandals
Cigarettes and candles

Candles and Cigarettes
I’ve had too much to drink, baby I am lit
I’ve got a royal flush, so be careful how you place your bet
When I take your ass to town, you can cash my check
Walking along the ocean, my feet are getting wet
Candles and Cigarettes
