about

It might be about euthanasia, or being in love with the act of smoking. Or not.

lyrics

she's the first one that I turn to every morning
she's the one who helps me make it through the night
i just need to take my fill
with a few prescription pills
to help me on that long familiar slide
I don't believe in being healthy
I don't believe in taking sides
I just know I've placed my bets
and that one more cigarette's
gonna help me wash my blues out with the tide

I don't want no emphysema
I don't want to have to try
I don't want to live forever
I only want to choose a time to die

she's the only way I get to feel normal
she's the way I punctuate my waste of time
and I know she's going to kill me
but it never fails to thrill me
when she wraps me in her blanket from inside
I don't believe in being happy
I don't believe in getting high
but I've got my pension plan
and I'm waiting for the man
to carry me away before my time

I don't want no emphysema
I don't want to have to try
I don't want to live forever
I only want to choose a time to die

I don't want to live forever
I don't want to have to try
I don't want no stormy weather
I only want to choose a time to die
