Smoke Baby Lyrics
In your underclothes
You went out for a smoke
I call you in just before the storm begins
Your last breath of smoke
You let out in the room
It makes a cloud like the greyist perfect plume
Smoke baby, smoke baby
More alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal and back out on a plane baby
An early flight will leave and on it will be me, yeah
I'll be half asleep and you'll get up at three
(Who'll give you time to cry?)
(Who'll give you time to find yourself?)
Casual as a light flickers before it's night
The sadness comes and the daylight turns and runs
As the sun is setting you'll be betting I'll be getting through
I'll find a payphone babe and take some time to talk to you
Smoke baby, smoke baby
More alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal and back out on a plane baby
An early flight will leave and on it will be me, yeah
I'll be half asleep and you'll get up at three
(Who'll give you time to cry?)
(Who'll give you time to find yourself?)
(Who'll give you time to cry?)
(Who'll give you time to find yourself?)
And I have never felt
Quite this close to hell
All this rock and roll, baby, only time will tell
But we're young now, having fun now
On the town now, get around now
It's fine for now
But someday we'll settle down
But not now baby
Smoke baby, smoke baby
More alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal and back out on a plane baby
An early flight will leave and on it will be me, yeah
I'll be half asleep and you'll get up at three
(Somewhere on the outside)
(Somewhere on the outside)
Get a little naughty and crazy
Blow smoke baby
I'm your girl highly for sure, not maybe
This lady wants you to take it off too (Somewhere on the outside)
Felt that way first time i saw you
Stir up trouble the kind i like
Hoping night don't mind
It's a time when wrong is right
Break me off tell your crew get lost (Somewhere on the outside)
Or else this heat might turn to frost
You know i bite and what it's like when we fight
These drunk lips cursed with spite
So let's do this right
Make love all night (Somewhere on the outside)
And wake up in time to catch the flight, bye
(Somewhere on the outside)
Who'll give you time to cry and time to find yourself?
(Somewhere on the outside)
You went out for a smoke
I call you in just before the storm begins
Your last breath of smoke
You let out in the room
It makes a cloud like the greyist perfect plume

Cocaine in Montreal and back out on a plane baby

I'll be half asleep and you'll get up at three

I love this song. It has to be in my top 3 favorite Hawksley songs. I think the beat and lyrics (not to mention his overly sexual energy and stage presence) totally give the message of the rushed sexual encounters lovers have when they rarely see each other; it feels like there will never be enough time to catch up.
I agree... one of my favourites... I can't get it out of my head, and I'm driving my friends nuts by constantly repeating "smoke baby, smoke baby" over and over... Got to admit though, I used my editing equipment and cut that rap part out. Made the song 100x better, as the rap was totall out of groove with the song. It's the perfect song to describe those relationships where all you have is sex and getting f-ed up.
I've gotta go with defwack on the cutting out of the rap section. This bit feels kind of like Paul McCartney's little contribution to A Day In The Life. It feels out of place and spoils an otherwise brilliant piece of work. My apologies to Beatles purists, but it's what I think.
What does this song reminds me of "Jealous of your Cigarette" ?
