nicotine stain

it's just a habit

when i reach to the packet

for my last cigarette

until the day breaks

and then my hand shakes

but it it's just driving me insane

when the smoke gets in my brain

i can't resist it

wallow in that ash bath

soaking up the fumes

and see the nicotine stain

start to spread

i'm so congested

cos north

south

east and west

catarrh rests on my chest

congealed and twisted

cough up and shift it

but i can feel my lungs collapse

sinking deep into my lap

i'm so useless

wallow in that ash bath

soaking up the fumes

and see the nicotine stain

start to spread

i'm so useful

if you don't want to fight

just give your foe a fright

say you'll drop me

on every country

see all will be stone dead

when the nicotine stain spreads

just light me

wallow in that ash bath

soaking up the fumes

and see the nicotine stain

start to spread
