"American Cigarettes" lyrics

"American Cigarettes"

American cigarettes
Silver can regrets
I bought you this little dress
Unimpressed, you put my love to the test

I know loving me's a slippery slope
But I know loving you's my only hope
So hold on tight if you can
Hold on tight if you can
Hold on tight if you can
Baby I know that you can

Flower vase in the hall
Or how your face says it all
It's a race, it's a crawl
Baby doll, we better brace for the fall

I know loving me's a slippery slope
But I know loving you's my only hope
So hold on tight if you can
Hold on tight if you can
Hold on tight if you can
Baby I know that you can

And I know loving me's a slippery slope
But I know loving you's my only hope
So hold on tight if you can
Hold on tight if you can
Hold on tight if you can
Baby I know that you can

Baby I know that loving me's a slippery slope
But I know loving you's my only hope
So hold on tight if you can
Hold on tight if you can
Hold on tight if you can
Baby I know that you can

Hold on tight if you can
Hold on tight if you can
Hold on tight if you can
Baby I know that you can
