Cigarette Daydreams (Unpeeled) - Cage the Elephant

Did you stand there all alone? Oh I cannot explain what's going down I can see you standing next to me In and out somewhere else right now You sigh, look away I can see it clear as day Close your eyes, so afraid Hide behind that baby face Do do do do do do You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer Funny how it seems like yesterday As I recall you were looking out of place Gathered up your things and slipped away No time at all I followed you into the hall Cigarette daydream You were only seventeen So sweet with a mean streak Nearly brought me to my knees Do do do do do do You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer If we can find a reason, a reason to change Looking for the answer If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Standing in the pouring rain Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer If we can find a reason, a reason to change Looking for the answer If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Standing in the pouring rain

In a far and distant galaxy Inside my telescope I see A pair of eyes peer back at me He walks and talks and looks like me Sits around inside his house From room to room he moves about Fills his life with pointless things And wonders how it all turns out Do do do do do Do do do do do Safe to say that I don't think you understand! There's nowhere left to turn Walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well spent Or time I've wasted Don't waste it Afraid of what the truth might bring He locks his doors and never leaves Desperately searching for signs Too terrified to find a thing He battens all the hatches down And wonders why he hears no sound Frantically searching his dreams He wonders what it's all about Do do do do do Do do do do do It's safe to say that I don't think you understand! There's nowhere left to turn The walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well spent Or time I've wasted Here in my mind, losing my friends Fall on my face, do it again You say how, do, you do? Man, how 'bout you? Man, how 'bout you? To be free, to be sold To be killed, to be saved In my head, I'm alone I'm not dead, I'm ashamed Just like you, I've been trying to escape In my bones, I feel cold I give thanks to the Lord Industry In this streets Let me go, let me be I don't need to be here I don't know Can't you see? Can't you see? I don't think you understand! There's nowhere left to turn Walls keep breaking Time is like a leaf in the wind Either it's time well spent Or time I've wasted Don't waste it
