Tamino – Cigar lyrics

[Verse 1]
You, look at me now
With those hollow eye sockets and smile
And it seems all a lie, what they’ve told me so far
And you, show me that life
Isn’t all about extending your time
No, it’s the perfect time for a bottle of wine

[Verse 2]
And why, do I still care?
About all who might recall me
For everything dies, so does memory
And why, am I still surprised?
About all who pray their sins away
Aren't they too a part of this grand ballet

[Chorus]
When time occurs
Don’t make it right,
Don’t make me right
It’s me to decide
This or that side
This or that side

[Verse 3]
Death, suits you dear sir
Like a beautiful coat but then without all the fur
I wonder would it fit me? What do you think I'd prefer?
You know some people ’d rather not exist
They put a gun to the heart or a knife to the wrist
We ought to think they aren’t smart
It could be something I missed

[Verse 4]
Right then, she kisses my skin
I don’t know what this is or where to begin
This fills me up with bliss, don’t tell me this was a dream
And she, shows me that life
Isn’t all about explaining your time
No, it’s the perfect time to lay all night

[Chorus]
When time occurs
Don’t make it right
Don’t make me right
It’s me to decide
This or that side

I need your word
Leave it aside
Just don’t make me right
It’s me to decide
This or that side
This or that side
This or that side

[Outro]
You, look at me now
With that burning cigar hanging out of your mouth
And it seems all a lie, what they've told me so far
