Cigarette Breath

Words by Bryon Bowers

Shacked Up Your Apartment After School Your Cigarette Breath Attacking my mouth Your Legs Flowing Out your Underwear You said you liked girls too I Didn't care I got lost Downtown You gave me directions When I finally found What you were looking for You slammed me down hard On that shag green floor Next day and Next I Came back For more We kept it between us In school we were strangers I didn't know you You didn't know me You called me up… You said let's talk I asked 'about what You said just come over You were moving away One more time for the road I lingered a bit… You said enjoy your youth Your Apartment was darker When I left that day I'd miss you… But not that breath… Your Cigarette Breath… Attacking me After School… You gave me Downtown Directions.. To a Lovely Carpet Burn… We were Strangers… In a Dark Apartment… Lingering with you… One Last Time…
