Cigarette Man (cast Of Characters)

Cigarette man

Filthy, my streetwise friend

Yellow-stained fingers, barefoot until the end

He will wander when he's able

A dusty mind, and rusty memories of his night

A stranger who would lend a match could set his face alight

And he will wander when he's able

He will wander when he's able



Tied down underneath the firmament

We'll all wander when we're able

Scenes unfold and they rewrite themselves

Cast of characters, they will never tell

They will never tell

How they made their way



He swipes at his memories like flies, they swarm round his head in the blistering sun

There's a hole in the sky like a gunshot wound and how the heavens will boil our blood

He will wander when he's able

Cigarette man the doctor has no remedy

But you have escaped, you've been blessed with this malady

And he will wander when he's able

We'll all wander when we're able



Tied down underneath the firmament

Aimless, we'll descend from heaven

Nine days down to earth and nine again to hell

Cast of characters, they will never tell

They will never tell

How they made their way



Tied down underneath the firmament

We'll all wander when we're able

Scenes unfold and they rewrite themselves

Cast of characters, they will never tell

They will never tell

How they made their way
