Band-Aids and Cigarettes
[MS. WERRING]
I can give you band-aids and cigarettes
Things that will make you feel better
And make you forget
The reason you were upset

Band-aids and cigarettes, baby
Band-aids and cigarettes, baby

I can give you brownies and anecdotes
I can show you newspaper clippings
And the hurt you feel
Won’t seem quite as real

With band-aids and cigarettes, baby
Band-aids and cigarettes, baby

[CHRIS]
I need an answer

[MS. WERRING]
I’m giving answers to you

[CHRIS]
No tell me what to do
Just tell me what to do
[MS. WERRING]
Be chill and it will be fine

[CHRIS]
That’s not an answer it’s a line

[MS. WERRING]
I give temporary solutions
For the other stuff you have to go elsewhere
Wish that I could do more
But all I’m good for

Is band-aids and cigarettes, baby
Band-aids and cigarettes, baby
Band-aids and cigarettes, baby
Band-aids and cigarettes, baby

Tee-shirts and Tylenol, baby
Back rubs and lava lamps, baby
Out of print record sets
And band-aids and cigarettes

I give temporary solutions
To help you forget the life you live
Band-aids and cigarettes, baby
Are all I know how to give
