"...two's a crowd on my cloud"
― Jagger & Richards

lyrics

Goodbye to the Smoke

You look me right in the eye
and say I know you're a friend of mine
And then you use me for laughs
Whenever I'm not around

You really don't feel alive
Unless you're lighting a forest fire
And I just wanted to think
That we could live and let live...

Goodbye to the smoke
Goodbye to the tears
I'm closing my eyes
I'm covering my ears

Goodbye to the grey skies
Hello to the fun
I'm breathing in deep
I'm smiling in sun

You needed somewhere to stay
and made me think it was my idea
And then you drank up the rent
And pissed all over the floor

You really don't feel alive
unless you're fighting a garbage fire
And I just wanted to think
That we could live and let live...

Goodbye to the smoke
Goodbye to the tears
I'm closing my eyes
I'm covering my ears

Goodbye to the grey skies
Hello to the fun
I'm breathing in deep
I'm smiling in sun

Goodbye to the grey skies
Hello to the fun
I'm breathing in deep
I'm smiling in sun
