Jack Van Cleaf
Holy Smokes
[Verse 1: Jack Van Cleaf]
Heaven knows
You’ve always been La Vie en rose
Oh, the color when you puckered slow
Four in the morning comes a purple glow
And I kissed too fast
Guess I was worried that this wouldn’t last
Oh the summer in your cheeks brushed past
How the seasons seem to slip through my grasp
[Chorus: Jack Van Cleaf & Vivien Vaucher]
When it comes to the moment, my enjoyment is hopeless
Every time I’m out smokin', my worry is near
But, if I want this so badly, am I just scared to be happy?
I put my faith in the back seat and drive with blind fear
[Verse 2: Jack Van Cleaf, Jack Van Cleaf & Vivien Vaucher]
Holy smokes
Queen of my junior high hopes
Get in your bug and drive yoursеlf back home
Leave mе speechless on the side of the road
'Cause I can put this back down
All the junior high love I found
In a birthday card cut out
Of some memories I’m reading through now
[Chorus: Jack Van Cleaf, Jack Van Cleaf & Vivien Vaucher]
I guess I’m addicted
To pipes and paranoid visions
To guilt over girls I’ve been kissing
And missing the point
Hell-bent on suppressing
All these Godsends and blessings
That come in some form of lesson, and some form of joy
[Verse 3/Outro: Jack Van Cleaf, Jack Van Cleaf & Vivien Vaucher]
You’re leaving Richmond
Never known a girl more driven
Still you'll miss every minute in Britain
All your friends and the wild living
Here comes the end of the season
Bumming smokes off of Jesus
Not every cigarette is a demon
If it feels right, then it’s reasoned
