The Hold Steady - Big Cig lyrics
[The Hold Steady - Big Cig lyrics]
She says she always smoked cigarettes
Ever since she was seven
She always likes the big ones best
You get more for your money
I know that she's gorgeous
I can't take her serious
She looks kinda ridiculous
With her Malibu 120s
Some nights she's a scientist
She pulls me into experiments
Squeezes hard and
Charts the forward progress
Some nights she's a pharmacist
She's got some pills in her purse
One to wake you up one if you're nervous
And I served my purpose
Burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes
I served my purpose
We power down and try to socialize
I served my purpose
She can probably find a better guy
I served my purpose
She used to fool around with
Some friends of mine
That's fine i mostly dig
Her and her big cigs
We met at a benefit
It was a pretty big opening
Her therapist says it's dangerous
The way she seeks validation
Some nights she's a magic trick
Some nights she's a sinking ship
She pokes around with a paper clip
She's the pistol at the party
Once we get started
Burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes
I serve my purpose
We power down and try to socialize
I serve my purpose
She can probably find a better guy
I serve my purpose
She used to fool around with
Some friends of mine
That's fine i mostly dig
Her and her big cigs
I'm pretty sure we both agree
We can both take some liberties
We all have our anxieties
This little tryst is hard to quit
So we just sit here and live with it
Burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes
I serve my purpose
We power down and try to socialize
I serve my purpose
She can probably find a better guy
I serve my purpose
She used to fool around with
Some friends of mine
It's not love it's not even a crush
That's fine i mostly dig
Her and her big cig
Ever since she was seven
She always likes the big ones best
You get more for your money
I know that she's gorgeous
I can't take her serious
She looks kinda ridiculous
With her Malibu 120s
Some nights she's a scientist
She pulls me into experiments
Squeezes hard and
Charts the forward progress
Some nights she's a pharmacist
She's got some pills in her purse
One to wake you up one if you're nervous
And I served my purpose
Burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes
I served my purpose
We power down and try to socialize
I served my purpose
She can probably find a better guy
I served my purpose
She used to fool around with
Some friends of mine
That's fine i mostly dig
Her and her big cigs
We met at a benefit
It was a pretty big opening
Her therapist says it's dangerous
The way she seeks validation
Some nights she's a magic trick
Some nights she's a sinking ship

We power down and try to socialize
