I wish I smoked

I wish I smoked,  
So I could watch the smog dissipate
Far beyond this world into another place.  
I wish I smoked  
So I had an excuse to leave  
And clear my brain for awhile.  
I wish I smoked  
So I could hide away for a little  
And find new places to explore.  
I wish I smoked
So I coud take long,deep drags,
Before I had to come back inside again.
I wish I smoked
So I could become one with the stars.
I wish I smoked  
So my lungs would fill up with tar  
And maybe develop cancer,maybe.  
I wish I smoked  
So the sweet smell would make  
The memories last longer.  
I wish I smoked  
So I looked as cool as you do  
Killing yourself with a slow suicide attempt.  
I wish I smoked  
So I could have an excuse to meet people  
And start a conversation.  
I wish I smoked  
So I could drink coffee again,  
Pretending I was a Boheimain.  
I wish I smoked  
So I could be Frank Sinatra for a day,  
Fucking women and singing in devils bars.  
I wish I smoked  
So I could drain the depression away,  
Calm the nerves for a day.  
I wish I smoked  
So I had something in my hands  
And could have an excuse to use a lighter.  
I wish I smoked  
So I could watch the way it burns away  
From this world as I took drag after drag.  
Just like you,  
I wish I smoked.
