Cigarette (Triple J Live at the Wireless, The Corner Hotel, Melbourne, 2019) Songtext
von Ali Barter

This one is called Cigarette

You always say how much you
Love my big brown eyes
Playing with my long hair
Like you found your prize
I′m so tired of standing next to you
With nobody caring what I do

If I shaved my head would you
Tell your friends you don't really care?
Really care?
Don′t ask for a Cigarette, cigarette
Don't ask for a Cigarette, cigarette
Don't ask for a Cigarette


Would you still see me
If I changed my style
Lying here beside you
With that velvet smile
Close your eyes boy it′s a fantasy
Cos I′m not the girl you wanted me to be

If I shaved my head would you
Tell your friends you don't really care?
Really care?
Don′t ask for a Cigarette, cigarette
Don't ask for a Cigarette, cigarette
Don′t ask for a Cigarette

I can't explain to you the energy it takes
To have to face these feelings every day
You can ignore me but I′m not the only girl
Who wakes up trying not to feel this way

If I shaved my head would you
Tell your friends you don't really care?
Really care?
Don't ask for a Cigarette, cigarette
Don′t ask for a Cigarette, cigarette
Don′t ask for a Cigarette
