Coffee And Cigarettes Lyrics
Never Shout Never
Lyrics
Coffee and Cigarettes are my only escape.
I got my cup of Joe, my pack of stokes
And I'm on my way downtown, to
Set up shop, and sing my cares away.
So, won't you sing with me
'Cause it's cold outside, and I'm feeling kinda lonely.
Friday nights are always the same in this town.
I'm looking up, but I'm feeling kind of down.
So, I'll light this cigarette and smoke the night away
And I'll hope that Saturday will be the day
When everything feels okay.
Ba da da da Ba da da da da
Ba da da da da da da da da
Coffee and Cigarettes are best when shared with you.
We'll go to Waffle House or your Mom's House
And share a cup or two.
Yeah, I have friends, but they have friends
And they have parties, and I'm so akward.
So whatta ya say, just as friends, we see a movie
This weekend, alright? Okay.
Friday nights are always the same in this town.
I'm looking up, but I'm feeling kind of down.
So, I'll light this cigarette and smoke the night away
And I'll hope that Saturday will be the day
When everything feels okay.
Ba da da da Ba da da da da
Ba da da da da da da da da
I'm trying to quit smoking. ha
