I cannot begin to tell you how many times
sparks from a cigarette has tried to blind my left eye,
how many times fire has tried to kill me and succeeded.
I want to die | I want to die | I want to die
still full of life dear God
still full of raging life;
no more pressing darkness to resist
Cease the offerings of breath from my chest
while I am still young and full of age
with no more afterlife to pursue;
I cannot begin to tell you or anyone for that matter
how many times smoking a cigarette
has saved my life.
