"SHOWER AND A CIGARETTE" LYRICS

The bombs stopped for a while
Just enough time to leave the bunker
And see if our house is still standing
Who is dead in the street?
Death is just above a whisper
Shower and a cigarette
Death is just above a whisper
Shower and a cigarette

A shower and a cigarette
I need a shower and a cigarette
A shower and a cigarette
I need a shower and a cigarette

Do I recognize their marred faces?
Yes, I see my dead neighbors
The old man who owns a store
A young mother and her child
I must remember all their faces
Carry them as my brain races
The young boy who kicked a can
Now piled on his family’s land

chorus

And for now the house is still standing
The pipes give water
I brought a towel, I need a shower
Grab a few more things
Clothing, an axe, some matches too
My old camera died, I need a new
Burned the butt to the end, sucked it in
Blow out this life

The next round of hell
Starts to rain down

Chorus

Does anybody have a cigarette?
Death is just a whisper away, death is just a whisper away
Death is just a whisper away, death is just a whisper away....
