Smoke Rings

by Earl

on Tongue Tied (2017)

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
See you at the funeral of our lust
We'll both be there when the hour chimes
Oh what good time

Your alibi is dead
It sails down the river
You're just blowin' smoke rings

When I remember yesterday
Our story seems far away
And I was free to roam in dreams
Before I let you close to me

Your words were sweet if ever spoke
My heart was wrong
The trust was broke
Wish I'd let it pass me by

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
See you at the funeral of our lust
We'll both be there when the hour chimes
Oh what good time

Your alibi is dead
It sails down the river
You're just blowin' smoke rings

From what I've seen and what I 've heard
I can't take you at your word
You don't deserve to hold me tight
My bloody fists are more in line

I'm moving on with my own pride
Wish I hadn't held a rusty knife
That bullshit lullaby
It's time for us to say goodnight

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
See you at the funeral of our lust
We'll both be there when the hour chimes
Oh what good time

Your alibi is dead
It sails down the river
You're just blowin' smoke rings

Here's one for memories
And one for love
Now I'm experienced
I know, I know
Goddamn it I know, goddamn it I know
I really must quit you, quit you

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
See you at the funeral of our lust
We'll both be there when the hour chimes
Oh what good time

Your alibi is dead
It sails down the river
You're just blowin' smoke rings
