Black Coffee and Cigarettes

I don't drink, I just smoke

I don't gamble no more

And I don't use no toke

All I wanna do is be with you

Smoke my cigarettes and have some java brew

Make it black, and strong, that's what I need

Cause when I think of love, don't you know what I bleed?

I bleed blues, and rhythm, and rock'n roll

All that funky stuff that shakes up my soul

Drinking black coffee and cigarettes

Trying to remember what she told me to forget

When you love somebody, then you split

You're drinking black coffee and cigarettes.

Now coffee next to oil is the second greatest traded commodity

I don't know what that means!

All I know I'm black and I'm blue, and I'm crazy for you

Sometimes I just want to scream

(Go on and scream boy!)

Even Nostradamus couldn't name us

Cause love is blind (love is blind)

And you can't see the future,

You just say 'who's her?'

She's sure 'nough is fine

Drinking black coffee and cigarettes

Trying to remember what she told me to forget

When you love somebody, then you split

You're drinking black coffee and cigarettes.

I took a bus trip back in time

Round 66 when it was the main line

I saw teepees and motel, design like events

And then I saw that place

Where we once spent

But nostalgia ain't what it used to be

When you take out the good parts and leave in the misery

But if I had to do it again

You know I'd do it with you, it was dumb like sin, yeah!

Black coffee and cigarettes

Trying to remember what she told me to forget.

When you love somebody, then you split

You're drinking black coffee and cigarettes.

I'm singing (la la la la)

Yeah, yeah, yeah (la la la la)

I'm singing (la la la la)

Drinking black coffee and cigarettes

Trying to remember what she told me to forget

When you love somebody, then you split

Drinking black coffee and cigarettes.

Drinking black coffee and cigarettes.
