Cigarettes & Vermouth Lyrics

Soju turns my heart into a candy store

I can't believe you're waiting patiently before

The threshold of my living room

Avert your eyes, everything's subsumed

Your arborescent limbs that make skyscrapers blush

The incandescent flourish of our faces flushed

Inside a midnight dream

Time and Space in starlight-studded gleam

Time is running out, you see

As your mind drifts away with me

I lied, don't turn your head around

Or make a sound

There's something else in here that can be found

The scurrying of squirrels within the blades of grass

The drunken dances made me falling on my ass

Broken glass fills the portrait by the bedside frame

of a boy I loved with a forgotten name

I was an adult back in 2005

But I have grown much younger each year I'm alive

Please don't try to take away my fading youth

When all that's left are cigarettes and vermouth

Time is running out, you see

As your mind drifts away with me

I lied, don't turn your head around

Or make a sound

There's something else in here that can be found

Something else in here that can be found

Something else in here that can be found

Let's be proud

The time we have is now you see

Sharpened focus, sans reverie

I'm right, and you've heard this all before

I adore the fleeting moments I cannot ignore
