Been Smoking Too Long - Nick Drake

Well I wake up in the morning

Look at my clock

It’s way past noon time

Now I’m late for work.

Tell me, tell me What have I done wrong?

Ain’t nothing go right with me Must be I’ve been smoking too long.

Well I go to find me some breakfast

But I ain’t got no food

Take me a shower

But the water don’t feel no good.

Tell me…

I’ve got opium in my chimney

No other life to choose

Nightmare made of hash dreams.

Got the devil in my shoes

Tell me…

Well when I’m smoking

Put my worries on a shelf

Don’t think about nothin'

Try not to see myself.

Tell me…

Well in this blues I’m singin'

There’s a lesson to be learned

Don’t go around smokin'

Unless you want to get burned.

Tell me…
