There will be the time for words
And there will be the time for you to say you understand
But now it’s my time in the sun and I will say
That I don’t pay to play
Get paid to say
What I dols may
I lead the way

I do the best I can
My heart is in your hands
I do the best I can
My heart is in your hands
Cigarettes each day
Just burn my thoughts away
Cigarettes each day
Burn my mind away

There will be time for now
And there will be the time for you to say you’ve found your place
But now it’s my time in the shade and I will say
That I have got the plan
So understand
Understand, understand

I do the best I can
My heart is in your hands
I do the best I can
My heart is in your hands
Cigarettes each day
Just burn my thoughts away
Cigarettes each day
Burn my mind away

No heartbreaks
No earthquakes
No straight place
Just straight face
You can’t say that
You don’t mean that
And I won’t take that
Anymore

No heartbreaks
No first place
No straight ace
No first place
And you can’t say that
You don’t mean that
And I won’t take that
Anymore

I’m living on the floor
And you don’t know what’s more
And one step from the street
Is close enough for me
Cigarettes each day
Burn my mind way
Cigarettes each day
Take my thoughts away
