Cigarettes After Sex - Sweet

Watching the video that you sent me
The one where you’re showering with wet hair dripping
You know that I’m obsessed with your body,
But it’s the way you smile that does it for me

It’s so sweet knowing that you love me
Though we don’t need to say it to each other,
Sweet knowing that I love you & running my fingers through your hair
It’s so sweet

Watching the video where you’re lying in your red lingerie ten times nightly
You know I think your skin’s the perfect color,
But it’s always your eyes that pull me under

& I would gladly break it
I would gladly break my heart for you…

Cigarettes After Sex - Tejano Blue

We wanted to fuck with real love
Wanted it sweet, so pure & warm
Never only sleeping over

We wanted to fuck like all the time
& when you got back from your flight
It was the first thing we did

& when you say you want it all
I know you want it all
Baby, take it all from me
& when you drag me on the floor & the blue tejano’s on,
You keep your eyes on me

So get in the waves, swim in your leather
I always will make it feel like you were the last one
Get in the waves like it was the first time
Bless your heart, make you part of my life forever

In shorts so high waist,
The girl in the arcade said they were the shortest ever
& the rest like “Holiday”,
The live one where she sang, dancing in a polka dot top...

So get in the waves, swim in your leather
I always will make it feel like you were the last one
Get in the waves like it was the first time
Bless your heart, make you part of my life forever & always...

Cigarettes After Sex - Touch

I missed you and I cried, but I said that I was alright
And I know it’s been awhile since I needed a distraction

Because I want to do everything that you want me to
To tell you the truth

I need to stay alive, so sad that I could die

It’s leading me on, every time we touch
Leading me on, every time it hurts
Feeling so lonely because it’s not enough
Missing you only ever since we fell in love

And I watched you do a line that you spread out on the table
I don’t need to see you wired, I just want to see you upside down

I want to do everything that you want me to
To tell you the truth

I listened to you cry all night through the telephone…

Couldn’t say you didn’t want me then when we were lying in my bed that night
You were acting like a different person as if suddenly you wanted to just be friends
I was hurt and so I took a shower so you couldn’t hear me, knowing I had to cry
Sad to know that while my heart was breaking you were sleeping or just faking…

Cigarettes After Sex - Sunsetz

Sunsets
We wander through a foreign town
Strangely there’s nobody else around
So you open your dress & show me your tits
On the swing set at the old playground

& when you go away I still see you
With sunlight on your face in my rear-view

Sunsets
I wanna hear your voice
A love that nobody could destroy
Took photographs like Brautigan’s book covers that we both adored…

This always happens to me this way
Recurring visions of such sweet days

When you go away I still see you
With sunlight on your face in my rear-view
