Coffee & Cigarettes

I gave up coffee and cigarettes
I hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet

I thought my problems would just dissipate

And all my pain would be in yesterday

I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain

And watched all my bad habits get flushed away

I thought that that would keep my head on straight

And all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true

I’m still blue

But I finally know what to do

I must quit, I must quit….. you.

I thought that if I didn’t go and play

The sadness would get bored and go away

I thought that if I didn’t go astray

That all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true

I’m still blue

But I finally know what to do

I must quit, I must quit….. you.

I sold my guitar and my piano

I thought that it was these that kept me low

I thought if only I could try and change

That all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true

I’m still blue

But I finally know what to do

I must quit, I must quit…. You.

I must quit, I must quit…. You.
