Lopez On The Runway - Hushed Fingers And Cigarettes lyrics

rate me

“Hushed Fingers and Cigarettes”

Hushed fingers and cigarettes

Played there role so well

In a stage play that I wrote

When I was your age

Our ambitions over our heads

But we let them slip away

And sometimes I think

We were happier those days

And we cried when we saw

Our goals being sold

To the men

Who wore silver and gold

And it’s amazing to me

After all these years

That we lived every day

Without assurance or fear

We tattoo our tongues

With the stories we’re afraid to tell

Until one day

We forget them all

We knew it all

We knew it all

We knew it all

We knew it all along
