Rufus Wainwright
Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk
it's a classic... you know you love it! :)

Cigarettes and chocolate milk, these are just a couple of my cravings
Everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger,
A little bit thicker, a little bit harmful for me
If I should buy jellybeans, have to eat them all in just one sitting
Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter,
A little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me
And then there's those other things, which for several reasons we won't mention
Everything about 'em is a little bit stranger, a little bit harder, a little bit deadly
It isn't very smart, tends to make one part so brokenhearted
Sitting here remembering me, always been a shoe made for the city
Go ahead accuse me of just singing about places,
With scrappy boys' faces, have general run of the town
Playing with prodigal sons, takes a lot of sentimental valiums
Can't expect the world to be your Raggedy Andy,
While running on empty, you little old doll with a frown
You got to keep in the game, retaining mystique while facing forward
I suggest a reading of A Lesson in Tightropes,
Or Surfing Your High Hopes, or Adios Kansas
It isn't very smart, tends to make one part so brokenhearted
Still there's not a show on my back, holes, or a friendly intervention
I'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit Irish,
A little bit Tower of Pisa whenever I see ya
So please be kind if I'm a mess
Cigarettes and chocolate milk, cigarettes and chocolate milk

Cigarettes and chocolate milk, cigarettes and chocolate milk
i know what he means about the jelly beans
haha omg i adore this song, i seriously listen to it on a loop quite often! drove my dad insane, tho now he says he actually likes rufus' voice! he says i've turned him onto rufus! so thanks to this song, another convert! it's funny how telling this song is about rufus, but at the same time you see things about yourself as well. and for some reason the combo of cigarettes and chocolate milk just sounds appealing somehow. even the words together fit so well side by side. i have no idea how exactly to explain what i mean lol. oh well!
ps: for you, who doesn't speak english very well, when he says "i'm a mess", he means that he's not perfect, he's untidy, he doesn't have his act together, he's a little drunk and crazy, so the other guy needs to forgive him. lol a mess of a person basically.
