(Sunshine, Sunshine)
Mama said she was bad for me,
Every kiss was suicide.
That the sweetest apple on the tree could be laced with cianide.
A needle fails with the conversation,
Every time she calls.
And my skin starts itchin, my body twitchin,
She's got me by the balls.
Chorus: She's sunshine and ciggarettes
She's bad for me I know
She's sunshine and ciggarettes
But what a way to go.
She's sunshine and ciggarettes
She's killin' me real slow.
She's sunshine and ciggarettes
But what a way to go.
What a way, what a beautiful way, what a way to go. (x2)
I tried the patch and I tried hypnosis,
I even tried the gum.
I tried all that new-age hocus pocus
But the healing didn't come.
Sunscreen and the body lotions
All that drugstore trash
But my skin still burns
I guess I'll never learn,
She's the smoke and I'm the ash.
Chorus
Giv eme one more drag before I quit
One more little taste of it
Just enough to ease my mind,
I could leave her anytime.
Anytime.
What a way, what a beautiful way yeah, what a beautiful way to go.
Chorus
What a way, what a beautiful way yeah, what a way to go.
