Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk

Rufus Wainwright

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 jellybeans

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 abou t'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

With scrappy boys faces have geveral run of the town.


Playing with prodigal sons

Takes a lot of sentimental valiums

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 ver 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 heirless, a little bit Irish

A little bit Tower of Pisa

Whenever I see ya

So please be kind if I'm a mess
