Cigarettes Lyrics

Lyric discussion by TenaciousDirk 

Cover art for Cigarettes lyrics by King's X

If you've been seriously ill or have been close to someone who has, this song captures the experience. You can easily picture a bedridden person asking "have you gotten any cigarettes, and have you got anything for me" to a visitor. Long-term suffering does weird things to people's thinking. There's the incredible boredom, the skewed perception, and waves of brutal pain.

Sad song.
