Lyrics
Cigarette Town
By Chad Shank 9-22-21
They say this town’s the devil
They say that it can take your soul
Faceless men wandering the street like zombies
And they’re fading like smoke
It’s where their dreams vanished
And where their road went nowhere
They watch life burn in this Cigarette Town
Ashes to Ashes
They all crash down
They want to leave this Cigarette Town
But once it has you
It won’t let go
Addiction’s a ghost that dwells here
Haunting the lives stuck in struggle
A phantom’s grip scratching out the hearts of families
Pushing another dose
They see their jobs vanish
And know their goals go nowhere
They watch life burn in this Cigarette Town
Ashes to Ashes
They all crash down
They want to leave this Cigarette Town
But once it has you
It won’t let go
They say this town’s the devil
They say that it can take your soul
Faceless men wandering the street like zombies
Fading like smoke
