"the lamps and their light"

the lamps and their light
(andy smith)

i knew you was smokin'
cause your window was open
and from the ground below
i felt like an ashtray and
the moon was a nail
on a finger in midair
that pointed right at you,
but i keep forgettin' that

i-i-i-i was telling you
terrible lies
and you-oo-oo-oo
were ever so, ever so, kind
i'll keep that in mind

i knew you was leavin'
cause you told me last evening
by the shitty truck
that doesn't start in the summer
and our love was a song
i hadn't heard in so long
and by the second verse
i forgot why i liked it

and i-i-i-i was telling you
terrible lies
and you-oo-oo-oo
were ever so, ever so, kind
i'll keep that in mind

don't you wanna believe?
don't you wanna believe?
don't you wanna believe?
in me.
so do i.
