ashtray

Singer:brian jonestown massacre, the

staring at a cigarette

burns until there's nothing left

see your eyes are flaming red

pictures from when i was dead

here i am a stupid man

cast away the things i love

tears are falling to the floor

to join a hundred thousand more

how was i supposed to know

that when i'd turn around you'd go

how was i supposed to know

how was i to know that i'd be wrong

in your hand a cigarette

burns until there's nothing left

saw your eyes they're flaming red

begin to roll you roll your head

here i am a stupid man lost the only thing i love

here the tears are falling down

hear the water running on the ground

how was i supposed to know

that when i'd turn around you'd go

how was i supposed to know

how was i to know that i'd be wrong

how was i to know that i'd be wrong.
