DON'T SMOKE IN BED
I left a note on the dresser
And my old wedding ring
With these few good-bye words
How can I sing
Good-bye old sleepyhead
I'm packing you in
Like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
Don't look for me
And I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep
No light, no sound
Nothing to eat
No books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful warm and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing to be desired
Peace came upon me
And it leaves me weak
So sleep silent angel
Go to sleep
Sometimes
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful warm and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing to be desired
Sometimes
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me
And it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel,
Go to sleep
Sleep, silent angel
Go to sleep
SMOKE DREAMS
Smoke dreams
From smoke rings
While a cigarette burns
I keep yearning for you
Through smoke dreams
From smoke rings
That old feeling returns
Can't believe that we're through
I try to pretend
Our love has ended, but my heart
Tells me no
The dreams I resist
Won't be dismissed
Though I try to forget
With each cigarette
Still, smoke rings
Bring smoke dreams
And although you are gone
Our love story goes on
I try to pretend our love has ended
But my heart tells me no
The dreams I resist
Won't be dismissed
Though I try to forget
With each cigarette, still
Smoke rings
Bring smoke dreams
And although you are gone
Our love story goes on
MY LAST CIGARETTE
The moon in the morning
Is watching the rain turn to snow
But outside my window
Sometimes the rain falls harder
Than you'll ever know
Sometimes the things that you love in the night
The morning will choose to forget
I have a habit
I have been trying to lose
Everyone thinks that they know what they want
Sometimes your drug chooses you
There are some things that I promised myself
Things I haven't done yet
This is my last cigarette
This is my last cigarette
Sometimes the people who love in the night
In the morning will choose to forget
This is my last cigarette
This is my last cigarette
This is my last cigarette
THE JOKER
Some people call me the space cowboy
Yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
People talk about me baby
They say I'm doin' you wrong
Doin' you wrong
But don't you worry, don't worry
Baby, please don't worry
Cause I'm right here
At home
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover...
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run
oooOOOOooo
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Baby, I wanna shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey
All the time
Mmmmm baby, I'll show you a good time
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
Play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker, baby I
Get my lovin' on the run
oooOOOOOOOoooo
People keep talking about me baby
Yeah
They say I'm doin' you wrong
Doin' you wrong
Now don't you worry, don't worry
Please baby don't worry
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here
Right here at home
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
Really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree
Really love your peaches
I wanna shake your tree
I really love your peaches
Wanna shake your
Tree
theme from VALLEY OF THE DOLLS
Gotta get off
Gonna get
Have to get off of this ride
Gotta get hold
Gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
When did I get
Where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know
Where will I
How will I think of my name
When did I stop
Feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why
Is this a dream
Am I here
Where are you
What's in back of the sky
Why do we cry
Gotta get off
Gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get on
Gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound
When did I get
Where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know
Where will I
How will I learn who I am
Is this a dream
Am I here
Where are you
Tell me
When will I know
How will I know
When will I know
Why?
YOUR SMOKESCREEN
The medicine has taken you over
Washing away any desire
How does it feel at the end of the day
When your energy's gone and it's slowly replaced
By the numbing sensation
Cleaning both sides of your brain
I remember the stars in your eyes
But even the bright stars can fade out
Sometimes
Do you remember our very last kiss
Are you aware that you're terribly missed
Do you remember how to remember
I should have seen
Through your smokescreen
MY OLD ADDICTION
My old addiction
Changed the wiring in my brain
So that when it turns the switches
And I am not the same
So like the flowers towards the sun, I will follow
Stretch myself out thin
Like there's a part of me that's already buried
That sends me out into this wind
And my old addiction
Is a flood upon the land
This tiny lifeboat can keep me dry
But my weight is all that it can stand
So when I try to lean just a little
Just a splash to cool my feet
All that trickle turns out fickle
Fills my boat up five miles deep
My old addiction
Makes me crave only what is best
Like just this morning songbirds
Craving upward from the nest
These tiny birds outside my window
Take my hand to be their mum
These open mouths would trust and swallow
Anything that comes along
Like my old addiction
Now the other side of day
The springtime of my lifestyle
Turns the other way
If the swan can have a song
I think I know that tune
But the page is only scrawls
And I am gone this afternoon
The page is only scrawls
And I am gone
This afternoon
TILL THE HEART CAVES IN
We stood together in an open field
And shared the secrets that the night revealed
Then we chased a lie
Racing through the sky
Can we untangle guilt and innocence
How hard we torture this ambivalence
Night will bring no dawn
Where's the power gone
For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping
And sell them for dust
And cheap lust
And I'll turn your hope while you are weeping
And cover your eyes
With sad lies
And dark skies
Come closer to me
On your hands and knees
Alone when your will's gone
How much is not enough
How much is through
How long will I be getting over you
How much grief and sin
'Til the heart caves in
'Til the heart caves in
'Til the heart caves in
SMOKE RINGS
Tell me where do they go
These smoke rings I blow
Each night
What do they do
These circles of blue and white
Why do they seem
To picture a dream
Of love
Why do they fade
My phantom parade of love
Puff, puff, puff
Puff your cares away
Puff, puff, puff
Night and day
Blow, blow them through the air
Silky little rings
Those little smoke rings I love
Take me above
With you
Puff, puff, puff
Puff your cares away
Puff, puff, puff
Night and day
Blow, blow them through the air
Silky little rings
Those little smoke rings I love
Take me above
Take me with you
HAIN'T IT FUNNY
Made love last night
Wasn't good
Wasn't bad
Intimate strangers
Made me kinda sad
When I woke up this morning
Coffee wasn't on
Slowly it dawned on me that my baby
Was gone
My baby's gone
Guess I shouldn't be so shocked
Guess I shouldn't be so surprised
Guess I sorta noticed
The sadness in your eyes
All this time together
Still feel so alone
The two of us together
Couldn't make this house a home
My baby's gone
My baby's gone
Ohhhhhh, so long
Maybe I'm a little bit relieved
Maybe even a little bit glad
Now that you're gone
Maybe I won't feel so bad
Start packing your things
Leaving them outside
Neighbors can talk themselves up into a storm
I'll survive
My baby's gone
My baby's gone
Ohhhhhhhh
So long
Did you forget something, my love
I see you're back outside
Looking at your suitcases, looking
Oh so surprised
Hain't it funny
One of life's little jokes
Thought you'd gone for good
But you'd only gone
For smokes
LOVE IS LIKE A CIGARETTE
What is love
You call it heaven above
A star that shines
In the night
A bird that sings
In its flight
A flower that blooms in the spring
It's no such thing
Love
Is like a cigarette
You know you had my heart aglow
Between your fingertips
And
Just like a cigarette
I never knew the thrill of life
Until you touched my lips
Then
Just like a cigarette
Love seemed to fade away
And leave behind
Ashes of regret
And with a flick of your fingertip
It was easy for you to forget
Love is like a cigarette
Then
Just like a cigarette
Love seemed to fade away
And leave behind
Ashes of regret
And with a flick
Of your fingertip
It was easy for you to forget
Cause love is like a cigarette
