Life's A Cigarette
Embracing Life's Irony Through a Smoky Lens
Lyrics
Well you're a quick-wit comic
Describing someone as quick-witted and humorous.
Putting a tack on my chair
Metaphorically referring to playful teasing or pranks.
Say come on and ride the comet
Encouraging to embrace excitement or opportunity symbolized by a comet.
But don't tell me how to get up there
Rejecting instructions on how to approach life's challenges.
Well ha ha ha life's a cigarette

There's nothing to do but smoke it

Yeah I don't really let it get to me

Man I gotta take it bout an hour at a time

Good grief or I'll lose my mind

You wanna talk ten year projections
Contrasting a focus on long-term plans with a desire for immediate enjoyment.
I wanna talk hot guitar and a rhythm section
Expressing a preference for discussing music and rhythm over future predictions.
