"Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk" lyrics - LAURA BENANTI

Cigarettes and chocolate milk
These are just a couple of my cravings
Everything, it seems I like's a little bit stronger
A little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me

If I should buy jelly beans
Have to eat them all in just one sitting
Everything, it seems I like's a little bit sweeter
A little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me

And then there's those other things
Which for several reasons we won't mention
Everything about 'em is a little bit stranger
A little bit harder, a little bit deadly

It isn't very smart
Tends to make one part
So brokenhearted

Sitting here remembering me
Always been a shoe made for the city
Go ahead, accuse me of just singing about places
Where scrappy boys faces have general run of the town

Playing with prodigal sons
Takes a lot of sentimental Valium
Can't expect the world to be your Raggedy Andy
While running on empty, you little old doll with a frown

You got to keep in the game
Retaining mystique while facing forward
I suggest a reading of A Lesson in Tightropes
Or Surfing Your High hopes, or Adios Kansas

It isn't very smart
Tends to make one part
So brokenhearted

Still there's not a show on my back
Holes or a friendly intervention
I'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit Irish, a little bit
Tower of Pisa, whenever I see ya
So please be kind if I'm a mess

Cigarettes and chocolate milk
Cigarettes and chocolate milk
