Gone In The Smoke Lyrics

Slow me down to walking speed, up all my downs Exhale now the vacuum's in my heart and lungs Wish upon a shooting star, low as I fell and walk me in tonight and make me leave myself Gone in the smoke where I'm a lover, I'm a singer in a song a total stranger here in the gloom where I am the gossip of the ladies' room Brush away the midnight ghost down on my blocks and con away the hours on the city clock Tonight I'll be a busy man going on travel and dance the night away with someone beautiful Gone in the smoke where I'm a lover, I'm a singer in a song and nobody knows this total stranger here in the gloom where I am the trader in the men's room And I can rule with the mob, I can play in the highest of finance I could buy me my rights whenever I'm wrong I can leave you behind and set course for a brighter horizon and place me down under a sky where I belong Still I'm running down the morning streets, run off my deeds while the parking meter time is closing down on me Some things are made in heaven, some wishes come true some do not become what you want them to Gone in the smoke, I'm a lover, I'm a singer in a song and nobody knows this total stranger here in the gloom When I am gone I'm a lover, I'm a killer with a gun I ain't present I am gone and I am the singer of a magic song
