Gary McPhail - Dry mouth

Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
The smoke is in my lungs,
Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
I've decided enough is enough,
Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
smoking has become to much,
Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
Quitting isn't as easy as it looks,
Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
My sore throat affects the way I talk,
Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
All this machinery that helps me breath isnt what I want,
Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
Once it was cool a stress releiver I thought,
Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
My old friends give me their pityful looks,
Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
I spend my days lying in bed, reading books,
Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
The doctor tells me the end is soon,
Inhale, exhale,
Another puff,
One more cigarette to go and I'll be gone for good!
