Love Is A Cigarette Lyrics

Get out the chemicals
Get out the rituals
Eat all the dirty rats
We are the dirty rats
Get out the beautiful
Kiss all the pretty mouths
Bite all the sharpened tongues
Evil is just a tongue

Love is a cigarette
Smokin a big cigar
Love is a lunatic
Fever the lunatics

I've come to take you home
Capture you alone
I'm gonna keep you for me
Keep you for myself
To share with no one else
You'll be my baby
Come back (hey! hey!)
Don't run (hey! hey!)
I'm here (hey! hey!)
I'm your (hey! hey!)
Hero (hey! hey!)
I'll save (hey! hey!)
The day (hey! hey!)
I'm your hero

Get out and amputate
Take out the trashy bones
Let all the cries and worms
Play in the poison mud
What are you trying to do (I said)
What are you trying to do (She said)
I think I'm in love with you (She said)
I think I'm in love with you

You're so lonely
You're so lonely
You're so lonely
You're so lonely
I truly am your man

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Being "in love" (i.e. a relationship) is like any other harmful addiction or dependancy, like smoking.
