lyrics

Cardiac arrest for cigarette smokers
Or terminal cancer instead.
An ace of spades deck without even jokers
A hack attack fills them with dread.

I don’t like the smell of cigarettes
And I can’t stand that taste upon your breath.
Have you got a factory inside your chest
And is there any living tissue left?

I don’t like the smell or the taste
You turn me on like industrial waste
I don’t like the taste or the smell
I’ll serenade you with a funeral bell

Cardiac arrest for cigarette smokers …

Fire and brimstone have made your headstone
Nothing but ash where good seed was once sown
Brimstone and fire killed you and your desires
No-one gave a damn but the other pariahs.

Cardiac arrest for cigarette smokers …

Filter tip lemmings follow the reaper
Just like the rats after the Pied Piper.
Nicotine sores invade like a creeper.
I’d rather take my chances with a viper or sniper.

Cardiac arrest for cigarette smokers
Or terminal cancer instead.
An ace of spades pack without even jokers
A hooded figure makes their death bed.
