up all night

up all night

Some twisted philosophy from a packet of Marlboros & a starry night in Brisbane. I was looking for the Southern Cross - couldn't find it so I wrote this instead.

Stars are angels smokin’ cigarettes Tune: DADGAD

Thinkin’ ‘bout things that they just can’t forget

All the tears & trouble they just can’t hide

God’s slackin’ off he’s been lettin’ things slide

(chorus) They’re up all night

They’re up all night

They’re up all night and I am too

Smokin’ cigarettes just thinkin’ bout you.

Moon’s an old man got a broken heart

Dull aching pain nearly tears him apart

Wanders all night there lonely &sad

Searchin’ for true love that he never had

((chorus) They’re up all night

They’re up all night

They’re up all night and I am too

I’m makin’ plans don’t have a clue.

And all those young men they’ve got the blues

Carryin’ a load that they can’t lose

“cause all the good girls get to bed by seven

Then they’re sure to be home by eleven

(chorus) They’re up all night

They’re up all night

They’re up all night and I am too

Smokin’ cigarettes just thinkin’ bout you.
