Lose one, find one
And in between there's a lot of drinking
You cried a lot, toots

And crying gals are always scheming

I try to tell myself

It's easy
Surviving with only
Coffee and cigarettes


We've got ourselves burned
And now we only have all the ashes

No more old in / out
Only if they'll pay me in cash


I try to tell myself
It's easy
Surviving with only

Coffee and cigarettes

I thought I saw my life flashing before my eyes

But it was just a slight tension of desire

I try to tell myself

It's easy
Surviving with only
Coffee and cigarettes
