Smoking Was a Day Job - Marble Sounds

Meeting in the backyard

We brought cigarettes beer

And a game of cards

Doing nothing was alright

We were chilling out

Not killing time

Every week soccer in the park

Followed by a stop

At the closest bar

Where we all agreed our strategy

Each time sealed with another beer

Smoking was a day job

We used to hang around on

Narrow streets downtown

But whatever we were after

And how we spent our time

Nobody could mind

Tired of the sidelines

Tired of regretting

What we didn't try

Bragging was quickly learnt

We had no second chance to

Impress a girl

Seeking love making out

We thought we had it all figured out

Going out sleeping in

My heart got stabbed

With a lovers pin

Smoking was a day job

We used to hang around on

Narrow streets downtown

But whatever we were after

And how we spent our time

Nobody could mind

Ahead a whole life to demystify

Nothing that we did felt like giving in

We picked straws and got on with it

Not yet distracted by my thinking

About what it was

And what it is
