[verse]
I wake up and crawl out of bed
Splash some cold water on my naked head
I watch the sun rising from the dead
With a cup of hot coffee and a cigarette
[chorus]
Well, I know it’s not healthy but I do it anyway
It helps me get through another busy day
A shot of caffeine sends me on my way
And a cigarette makes me…
Smell like an ashtray… Oh, well…
[verse]
I take a shower and get myself dressed
Dig through the closet for a shirt that’s pressed
Read the funnies in the paper and toss the rest
While I have a cup of coffee and a cigarette
[chorus]
[verse]
I’ll die one day but I ain’t dead yet
Until then I’ll live life with no regrets
But for now I need something… that’s right, you guessed
I need another cup of coffee and a cigarette
