Lyrics

Cigarettes For Breakfast

By Mark Zembal

A simple man, a simple dream
I live a simple life
A pretty girl to make my world
She said she'd be my wife
But things just didn't work out
The way I'd always planned
And now I've got forever
To try to understand

Chorus:
So I'll have - cigarettes for breakfast
Watch my dreams go up in smoke
Cigarettes for breakfast - since my heart been broke
And I'll have - cigarettes for breakfast
Cigarettes and the blues
I'll have - cigarettes for breakfast
Cigarettes instead of you

One man's fallen angel is another lover's dream
She left me for the things that shine -
Champagne and limousines
Misery loves company but somehow in the end
All that's left are my cigarettes
They are my only friends

Chorus:
So I'll have - cigarettes for breakfast
Watch my dreams go up in smoke
Cigarettes for breakfast - since my heart been broke
And I'll have - cigarettes for breakfast
Cigarettes and the blues
I'll have - cigarettes for breakfast
Cigarettes instead of you

I'm gonna smoke 'em 'cause I got 'em
I'm gonna' smoke 'em 'cause I can't have you
I'm gonna smoke 'em 'cause I got 'em
And there ain't nothin' nobody can do
I'm gonna' smoke 'em 'cause I got 'em
I'm gonna' smoke 'em 'cause I got the blues
I'm gonna' smoke 'em 'cause I got 'em
I'm gonna' smoke 'em 'cause I can't have you

(Chorus Out)
Cigarettes for breakfast
Watch my dreams go up in smoke
Cigarettes for breakfast - since my heart been broke
I'll have - cigarettes for breakfast
Cigarettes and the blues
I'll have - cigarettes for breakfast
Cigarettes instead of you
Cigarettes for breakfast
Cigarettes instead of you
