After all these years of smoking
And before my time runs out
I coul dhardly talk when i went for a walk
Its the smoking, drinking,
Snorting gear and talking
All has an effect on the way that i sound
and the voice that you are hearing
The doctor took an x ray,
he stuck a camera down my throat
I said its probably all the smoking
fags and snorting cocaine
He was surprised with my honesty
but he agreed all the same
And it wouldnt kill me today
But i gave up smoking anyway
Its been 4 weeks and 3 days now
And ive al most found it easy
And im happy to be alive now
Ill take it as a blessing not a curse
But not the fire in my heart
For all my friends and loved ones
Gonna keep that burning bright
But if i was struck down by some
Would i really be worthy of their sympathy
The way i like to carry myself
And live my life so carelessly
And im sure that i can still be
the person that i want to be
Its been 4 weeks and 5 days now
And ive almost found it easy
And im happy to be alive now
Ill take it as a blessing not a curse
An d put the fire out now
Ill take it as a blessing not a curse
