[Sung in a drunken fashion.]

(I like it already.)


[Verse 1:]
Love is a ring of smoke, [Coughs.]

Smoke makes me choke.
I fell for you from the start,
Oops, I got a blistered heart


[Chorus:]
I fell into a fallin' ring of smoke,

I went down, down, down,
Till I thought, "I'm gonna croak."
An' it ((smarts, smarts, smarts,))

Yeah, it smarts my throat and it makes me choke,
The ring of smoke.


(We're gonna cash in on this sound.)
(Play it again.)
(Thank you friend.)


[Chorus:]
I fell into a fallin' cloud of smoke,

I went down, down, down,
Till I thought, "I'm gonna fault."
And it smarts, ((smarts, smarts,))

Yeah, it smarts my throat, it makes me choke,
The ring of smoke.


[Verse 2:]
I thought love was a ring of fire,
Till it burned the wire off my guitar.

Oh, that burnin' fire.
Now, I'm a star with a hot guitar.


[Chorus:]
I fell into a fallin' ring of smoke,
I went down, down, down,

Till I thought, "I'm gonna croak."
And it ((smarts, smarts, smarts,))
Yeah, it smarts my throat and it makes me choke,

The ring of smoke.

[Coda:]

It gets my goat,
I'm about to croak.
From the ring of smoke,

I'm gettin' choked.
Thank you folks.
