Stood together in an open field
And share the secrets of the night reveal
Then we chase the light
Racing through the sky
Can we untangle guilt and innocence
How hard we torture this ambivalence
Night will bring no dawn
Where's the power gone

For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping
And sell them for dust and cheap lust
And I'll turn your hope while you are weeping

Gotta get off gonna get hafta get off of this ride
Gotta get hold gonna get need to get hold of my pride
When did I get where did I how was I caught in this game
When will I know where will I how will I think of my name
When did I start feeling sure feeling safe
And start wondering why
Is this a dream am I here where are you what's in back of the sky
Why do we cry

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Well, don't you worry baby
Don't worry
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner

If I could make a wish,
I think I'd pass.
Can't think of anything I need -
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound,
Nothing to eat, no books to read.
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired.
What more could I ask?
There's nothing left to be desired.
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

The medicine has taken you over
Washing away any desire
How does it feel at the end of the day
When your energy's gone and it's slowly replaced
By the numbing sensation
Cleaning both sides of your brain

I remember the stars in your eyes
But even the bright stars will fade out sometimes
Do you remember our very last kiss
Are you aware that you're terribly missed

I left a note on the dresser
And my old wedding ring
These few goodbye words
How can I sing
Goodbye old sleepy head
I'm packing you in like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring

Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

Don't look for me
And I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

We made love last night
Wasn't good wasn't bad
Itimate strangers made me kinda sad
Now when I woke up this morning
Coffee wasn't on
It slowly dawned on me that my baby is gone
My baby's gone
Guess I shoudln't be so shocked
I guess I shouldn't be so surprised
Guess I sorta noticed the sadness in your eyes
All this time together
And I still feel so alone

What is love
You called it heaven above
Star that shine in the night
A bird that sings in its flight
A flower that blooms in the spring
There's no such thing
Love's like a cigarette
You know you had my heart aglow
Between your fingertips
And just like a cigarette
I never knew the thrill of life
Until you touched my lips
Then just like a cigarette

The room in the morning
Watching the rain turn to snow
But outside my window
Sometimes the rain falls harder than you'll ever know
Sometimes the things that you love in the night
The morning will choose to forget
I have a habit I have been trying to lose
Everyone thinks that they know what they want
Sometimes your drug chooses you
There are some things that i've promised myself

[Originally titled "Chet Baker's Unsung Swan Song"]

My old addiction
Changed the wiring in my brain
So that when it turns the switches
Then I am not the same
So like the flowers toward the Sun
I will follow
Stretch myself out thin
Like there's a part of me that's already buried
That sends me out into this window

My old addiction
Is a flood upon the land
This tiny lifeboat

Smoke dreams
From smoke rings
While a cigarette burns
I keep yearning for you
Through smoke dreams
From smoke rings
That old feeling returns
Can't believe that we are through

I try to pretend our love has ended

But my heart tells me no
The dreams I resist won't be dismissed

Though I try to forget with each cigarette

Still smoke rings
Bring smoke dreams

Tell me where do they go
These smoke rings I blow each night
What do they do these circles of blue and white
Why do they seem to picture a dream of love
Why do they fade my phantom parade of love
Puff puff puff puff your cares away
Puff puff puff night and day
Blow blow them through the air silky little rings
Those little smoke rings I love take me above with you
