Social Chain Smoker

by Schmitty - Gemini

As the alcohol-to-blood ratio increases in my body 
I scan the bar's patrons with smirk that is naughty 

It's not sex or a phone number that I'm trying to get 
What my brain really craves is a lit cigarette 

Fears of cancer and rapid aging don't even cross my mind 
When I'm knee deep in Tequila, Jack Daniels, and wine 

I don't know when it started or when it will all end 
But I hope it all fades quickly like that bell-bottom trend 

I don't smoke in the morning or on a hot summer day 
And girls that kiss me tell me 'it's like licking an ash tray' 

So if I approach you on a Saturday night 
Don't give me a cigarette or offer me a light 

I don't want to be stereotyped the way smokers are depicted 
So please help me stop this before I'm addicted
