Coffee and Cigarettes Lyrics
Coffee and cigarettes are my only escape,
i got my cup of Joe and my pack of stoges
and i'm on my way down town
to set up shop and sing my cares away
so won't you sing with me cause it's cold outside
and i'm feeling kind of lonely.
friday nights are always the same in this town
i'm looking up but i'm feeling kind of down
so i light this cigarette and smoke the night away
and hope that saturday will be the day when everything feels okay.
badada badadadaadaa badadadada.
coffee and cigarettes are best when shared with you,
won't go to waffle house or your moms house
and share a cup or two.
yeah i got friends and they have friends
and they have parties and i'm so awkward
so what do you say just as friends we see a movie, this weekend?
friday nights are always the same in this town
i'm looking up but i'm feeling kind of down
so i light this cigarette and smoke the night away
and hope that saturday will be the day when everything feels okay.
badada badadadaadaa badadadada.

so i light this cigarette and smoke the night away
and hope that saturday will be the day when everything feels okay.
badada badadadaadaa badadadada.

and share a cup or two.

I'm caffeine and nicotine addicted. It's actually unbelieveable to how much these lyrics relate to me. This song means a shit load to me.
"won't go to waffle house or your moms house..." Won't = We'll go. I think.
But yeah, love this song. :D
I am pretty sure you're right!
I am pretty sure you're right!
I totally relate to "Yeah I have friends, but they have friends, and they have parties, and I'm so awkward."
(I apologise in advance for possible grammar mistakes)
I am nicotine and caffeine addicted, especially on flat, grey days. Coffee and fags are those vices that allow me to make my life a little more bearable. I think this song shows love for the little pleasures of life. Smoking, drinking coffee, singing "cares away" when you feel lonely, wishing there was someone who could share the warmness and intimacy of the interiors with you when it's raining outside. Watching your life "flow" and realizing that every day feels the same. Having friends who continuously go to parties, but not fancying anything but closeness with someone who can share life pleasures with you. Feeling down but never giving up, hoping a better day will come.
It's unbelievable how much this song describes my life.
Maybe this connection is a bit forced, but when I listen to this song I get the feeling that coffee and cigarettes are actually melancholy and hope. Don't we (smokers) smoke when we feel melancholic and lonely? And isn't the bottom of the coffee cup something used to predict future? Also, relating this to the song, it actually makes sense to me.

I was going to post the lyrics to this song, but you beat me to it.
This is the best song Christofer has made in a long time!! :)
Even though i don't like neither coffee nor cigarettes, i can relate so much.
I only see one thing wrong with your lyrics, i think "yeah i got friends and they have friends" is "yeah i got friends, but they have friends"
It's about artwalk! Every first friday of the month in springfield they have artwalk--performers and musicians etc. just hang around downtown and play music and show off. Cris probably performed at a few before he went big. And oh yeah, coffee and cigarettes :P
