[Verse 1] You roll it up, like it's a friend Thumb to flame, and back again Yellow fingers on the sink You cough it off, don't even think Your shirt still smells in the rain Ash in the cuff, ash in the brain You say "just one" by the door Then you want one more [Pre-Chorus] It bites a little every time Then it moves in, line by line Cheap relief and borrowed fire Dragging lungs through broken wire [Chorus] Cigarettes are bad Cigarettes are bad Burn your breath, burn your hands Cigarettes are bad (So bad) Cigarettes are bad You know it when you choke and laugh Cigarettes are bad [Verse 2] Stubs in the cup on the dash Little graves in a stained-out glass You hide the pack in your boot Like the truth can't find you there Midnight teeth, dry mouth, done You chase the ghost, you kiss the sum Every drag just takes more back Leaves you thin and cracked [Pre-Chorus] And the hard part ain't the spark It's the hole it makes in the dark One small lie, one small chain Then it learns your name [Chorus] Cigarettes are bad Cigarettes are bad Burn your breath, burn your hands Cigarettes are bad (So bad) Cigarettes are bad You know it when you choke and laugh Cigarettes are bad [Bridge] Hear that cough in the cold hall? That's your body, that's the call Quit on Tuesday, quit for you Quit before it takes the room Split the pack, break the seal Let the craving lose its teeth One clean breath, one clean start Let it leave your heart [Final Chorus] Cigarettes are bad Cigarettes are bad Burn your breath, burn your hands Cigarettes are bad (So bad) Cigarettes are bad You know it when you choke and laugh Cigarettes are bad Cigarettes are bad
