Eddie Kendricks lyrics : "Going Up In Smoke"
Forty days and forty nights
It rained all over the world
To be exact
[to be exact]
sinners played and disobeyed
the Word coming down,
that`s a fact
[that`s a fact]
Some people take it for a joke
they can`t understand
They nailed Our Saviour to the cross
But he told them all
He`d rise again, rise again!
I talked to my friend again today
This is what he had to say:
You`re going up in smoke
going up in smoke
going up in smoke
and we ain`t got no hope
we`re going up in smoke
I talked to my friuend again today
This is what he had to say:
You`re going up in smoke
going up in smoke
going up in smoke
and we ain`t got no hope
`cause we`re going up in smoke!....
I talked to my friend again today
don`t be afraid by what I say
don`t wait `till Judgement Day
to start to pray
stop the hey! killing now
We`ll all have to go anyhow
Everyone`s having tons of fun
Who`s gonna take the blame?
He let His Son get close to earth
So we all go up
In bright of day
In bright of day
I talked to my friend again today
This is what he had to say:
You`re going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ain`t got no hope
`cause we`re going up in smoke!....
You`re going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ain`t got no hope
`cause we`re going up in smoke!
Oh, I talked to my friend today.
Music break
Everybody`s having tons of fun
Who`s gonna take the blame?
He let His Son Come to earth
So we all go up
In bright of day
In bright of day
I talked to my friend again today
This is what he had to say:
You`re going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ain`t got no hope
`cause we`re going up in smoke!....
You`re going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ain`t got no hope,
`cause we`re going up in smoke!
I talked to my friend today.
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ain`t got no hope,
`cause we`re going up in smoke!
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ain`t got no hope,
`cause we`re going up in smoke!
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ain`t got no hope,
`cause we`re going up in smoke!
Going, going
Yeah, Sinners prayed, disobeyed
The word coming down.
Going, ooohh, yeah
Everyone`s having tons of fun.
Who`s gonna take the blame?...
Chorus: (Repeat x 5)
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ain`t got no hope,
`cause we`re going up in smoke!
