Big Cig Songtext
She says she always smoked cigarettes ever since she was 7
She always likes the big ones best, you get more for that money
I know that she's gorgeous, I can't take her serious
She looks kinda ridiculous with her Malibu 120s

Some nights she's a scientist, she pulls me into experiments
Squeezes hard and charts the forward progress
Some nights she's a pharmacist, she's got some pills in her purse
One to wake you up, one if you're nervous and I serve my purpose
Burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes
I serve my purpose
We power down and try to socialize
I serve my purpose
She can probably find a better guy
I serve my purpose
She used to fool around with some friends of mine
That's fine. I mostly dig her and her big cigs

We met at a benefit. It was a pretty big opening
Her therapist says it's dangerous, the way she seeks validation
Some nights she's a magic trick, some nights she's a sinking ship
She pokes around with a paperclip, he's a pistol at the party

Once we get started

Burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes
I serve my purpose
We power down and try to socialize
I serve my purpose
She can probably find a better guy
I serve my purpose
She used to fool around with some friends of mine
That's fine. I mostly dig her and her big cigs

I'm pretty sure we both agree, we can both take some liberties
We all have our anxieties, this little trust is hard to quit
So we just sit here and revel it

Burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes
I serve my purpose
We power down and try to socialize
I serve my purpose
She can probably find a better guy
I serve my purpose
She used to fool around with some friends of mine
That's fine. I mostly dig her and her big cigs
