Middle of your Ashtray

 

You found a slate that needed wiping
It was in need of some sort of a good deed
That’s yours for the taking and I appreciate that fact
Cos whats yours is yours and whats mine is yours
But that is just fine because that is the pact we made
We lived a little closer to the edge than necessary
Its very stupid of my person to act this way
But today is like any other day that I have spent with you
YOU YOU YOU that’s all I hear and that’s all I seem to say

CHORUS

But if you want me to go, I’ll stay
And be a little unexpected
If you ask me to go, no way
Just so you can be protected!
I’ve got nowhere to go, ok?
‘cept maybe closer to the middle of your ashtray…

I’d act up to any other reason
For using my key to unlock the door that I’d left wide open for you
YOU YOU YOU You live intentionally just to please me!
Get down on your knees in front of me cos I am the king now
Instead of you and that’s the way its gonna be
Whether you are into this kind of shit or not
You got, I’ve got not quite what I bargained for
But then I never had to bargain for something that you didn’t know the cost of

CHORUS

I’m just a cigarette and you know that I’m not good for you
But as long as you keep on sucking I will keep on looking for another lung to hit on, spit on , make a slit upon
I bit a little bit harder on your lip your gone
How come you don’t read me?
You see, I’m not being sold to anyone underage who cant control me
Cos I’m addictive, I’m unpredictive, take me to your bed I’m even harder to live with!
Without you I’m just another random purchase
But you're not the only customer so put your cash away…

CHORUS
