"Been Smoking Too Long" lyrics - PLACEBO
[Intro:]
Yeah, I really, um, I really, I really wanted to kind of like
To capture some kind of like moment, but maybe it's better if I'm sober
Wake up in the morning, I look at my clock
It's way past noontime, I'm late for work
Tell me, what have I done wrong?
Nothing can go right with me
It must be that I've been smoking too long
Go to fix me some breakfast, I ain't got no food
Take me a shower, the water don't feel no good
Tell me, what have I done wrong?
And nothing can go right with me
Must be that I've been smoking too long
I got opium in my chimney, no other life to choose
Nightmares made of hash dreams, the devil in my shoes
What have I done wrong?
Yeah, nothing can go right with me
It must be that I've been smoking too long
When I'm smoking, smoking, put my worries on a shelf
Try not to think about nothing
Don't wanna see myself
What have I done wrong?
And nothing can go right with me
It must be that I've been smoking too long
In these blues I'm singing, there's a lesson to be learned
You go round smoking, you're gonna get burned
Fuck me, what have I done wrong?
Nothing can go right with me
Must be that I've been smoking too long
Too long
