Cigarette man
Filthy, my streetwise friend
Yellow-stained fingers, barefoot until the end
He will wander when hes able
A dusty mind, and rusty memories of his night
A stranger who would lend a match could set his face alight
And he will wander when hes able
He will wander when hes able
Tied down underneath the firmament
Well all wander when were able
Scenes unfold and they rewrite themselves
Cast of characters, they will never tell
They will never tell
How they made their way
He swipes at his memories like flies, they swarm round his head in the blistering sun
Theres a hole in the sky like a gunshot wound and how the heavens will boil our blood
He will wander when hes able
Cigarette man the doctor has no remedy
But you have escaped, youve been blessed with this malady
And he will wander when hes able
Well all wander when were able
Tied down underneath the firmament
Aimless, well descend from heaven
Nine days down to earth and nine again to hell
Cast of characters, they will never tell
They will never tell
How they made their way
Tied down underneath the firmament
Well all wander when were able
Scenes unfold and they rewrite themselves
Cast of characters, they will never tell
They will never tell
How they made their way
