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

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
