Listen, listen to this song I was told that I was strong When I had to go Went to the tropics Beneath the capricorn My captain said "you have a cancer of the lungs" I said amen to the smoke of tobacco (3 times) It's a divine holocaust I said amen to the smoke of tobacco (3 times) oh my love You ask me "why do you smoke?" But you talk, you talk, you talk, you talk You never had a look at the clouds You see in heaven, angels smoke too They do get bored baby, like me like you If it's not stress I guess, it must be happiness That made them send those lovely s.o.s. I was smoke to die of cancer I was smoke to die of cancer I was smoke to die of cancer No matter if I smoke I was stressed I was pressed I feel pained I feel drained I was born to die of cancer No matter if I smoke Marlboro, Marlboro lights, Dunhill gold, Lucky strike Camel blend, Crave A, Gouluoise blondes, Benson Hedges You tell me, you'd suicide, it's true we don't have so much time To start a cure of disintixication But it's so hard to be modern. to be careful with your health I'm not a sportsman after all "cult of the body destroys the soul, yeah the soul" We have to roll on, we have to roll on Oh baby ash to ash and now dust to dust I was still smoking, on the verge of dying Oh baby ash to ash and now dust to dust Oh baby ash to ash and now that's gone!
