Stop smoking Lyrics

Stop smoking Lyrics

It's the start of a new life day 
Oh yeah, right, like I haven't heard that one before 
You know everything I tried to quit I only wanted some more 
So I let the weeds grow up 
Called them flowers of the common man 

But in my head, in my head 
I can hear the gentle voices say: 
Stop smoking 
Take a deep breath and stop smoking 
Then you can take more deep breaths 
Stop smoking 
Spend a few more days with your family and friends 
And if you want to keep hitting that high note 
Stop smoking 

And I won't do it for another soul 
No, it's gotta be me 
I wanna say when and where there's a mountain to climb 
And thank you very much I want to waste my own time 
After his way and her way 
And they left me in the darkest alleys 

But it's time, I guess it's time 
'Cause the voice is getting stronger still: 
Stop smoking 
Time to reach for higher realms 
Stop smoking 
Time to boycott Jesse Helms 
Stop smoking 
And then you can check "no" when they ask if you smoke 
And all that stuff feels great 
So stop smoking 

Well there's a door I ran away from 
For every door I tried 
Now I've got my guilty conscience and I've got my guilty pride 
But now you tell me that the world needs my hot blood 
My wildest dreams 
And all that my mending bones and unschooled heart have to give 

So, big surprise, I just stopped smoking 
Yeah, la di dah, now don't remind me 
I think I'm going insane 
But I got the guts to leave the cult of beautiful pain 
Where I danced with seven veils of mysterious pollution 

And it's hard, I think it's hard 
Trying to find a life that I can live 
Janis Joplin 
Great spirit, lost the wheels, stop running 
The center could not feel, start to feel it 
I know life can make and break an acid queen 
Us great spirits gotta watch it 
Stop smoking . . . . . .
