Last Cigarette

That perfect autumn morning beside the hot dog stand
Electricity when you held my hand
A bitter winter followed, snow thick on frozen ground
Sweet harmony in that spark of love we found
Electricity – spark from hand to hand
Electricity – more than we could stand
Electricity – something killed the light
Electricity – but something wasn’t right, no something wasn’t right

Christmas came and New Year passed with all good resolution
But I think we’d worked out even then the inevitable conclusion
We smoked too much and drank too much that night in early spring
The things I said just broke your heart and ruined everything
Electricity – spark from hand to hand
Eccentricity – more than we could stand
Serendipity – something killed the light
Electricity – all we did was fight, yes all we did was fight

Why is it relationships don’t work out as we plan?
What tricks does stupid cupid play with quiver in his hand?
I thought this was the special one, would stand the test of time
I wanted to be yours forever, you forever mine

Now looking in your weeping eyes, so sad but so wise
I knew that it was over, no way to recover
With such sad regret I can never forget
That very last, that last cigarette
Electricity – spark from hand to hand
Eccentricity – more than we could stand
Serendipity – something killed the light
What a bloody pity - we broke up that night, oh we broke up that night
