Lyrics for The Hymn for the Cigarettes

No one called, no one wrote, no one even phoned So no one knew that I was with her on my own She smoked in my bed 'cause she thought it would annoy me But I love to see the girls smoke in my bed I love to see the girls smoke in my bed I love to see the girls smoke in my bed I love to see the girls smoke, love to see the girls smoke How can she love me if she doesn't even love the cinema that I love? What does she feel if she doesn't have the feeling that I have in my fingers? This joy I have could lift this ceiling from its rafters but I'm not laughing Oh, we feel nothing, so we search for nothing So we achieve nothing, love We feel nothing, so we search for nothing So we achieve nothing, love Lucky Strikes remind me of my friends out on the west coast Camel Lights remind me of my ex-girlfriend at Christmas time And Marlboro Reds remind me of giving up in Berlin But B&H remind me of not giving up but giving in B&H remind me of not giving up but giving in B&H remind me of not giving up but giving in B&H remind me, B&H remind me How can she love me if she doesn't even love the cinema that I love? What does she feel if she doesn't have the feeling that I have in my fingers? This joy I have could lift this ceiling from its rafters but I'm not laughing Oh, we feel nothing, so we search for nothing So we achieve nothing, love Oh, we feel nothing, so we search for nothing So we achieve nothing, love I don't want to stay in love, love I don't want to stay in love I don't want to stay in love, love I don't want to stay in love How can she love me if she doesn't even love the cinema that I love? What does she feel if she doesn't have the feeling that I have in my fingers? This joy I have could lift this ceiling from its rafters but I'm not laughing Oh, we feel nothing, so we search for nothing So we achieve nothing, love Oh, we feel nothing, so we search for nothing So we achieve nothing, love
