Cigarettes & Senators - Dark Country Boy
Cigarettes and senators
Choking on their lies
A smoke filled room
Where promises die
They shake your hand
Then twist the blade
In this town of shadows
Deals are made
Cigarettes and senators
All the same disguise
Ashes on the table
Smoke stings my eyes
Whispered words in the dark
Truths a bitter price
Cigarettes and senators
Choking on their lies
A man in a suit
With a pocket full of sin
He smiles so sweet
But the rot's within
Behind closed doors
They play their game
Lighting their cigars
With another's flame
Oh the smoke is thick
It clouds the air
Promises vanish
Like they were never there
Cigarettes and senators
All the same disguise
Ashes on the table
Smoke stings my eyes
Whispered words in the dark
Truths a bitter price
Cigarettes and senators
Choking on their lies
The ashtrays fall
But the room's still dark
Deals burn slowly
Leaving their mark
In the haze of deceit
We've all paid the toll
The fire in their hands
Is the cost of their soul
