Like a ghost that dances from the tip of a lit cigarette
I know what romance is but it hasn't happened yet
Watch it floating up to heaven only knows
Disappearing before you get too close
It's only smoke
You might say a flame is burning
Only smoke
But my heart is more discerning
Only smoke
Eyes are hypnotizing when they hold you within their embrace
Words are mesmerizing even when they've got nothing to say
The game is charming in an empty kind of way
What's the harm in asking me to play
It's only smoke
You might say a flame is burning
Only smoke
But my heart is more discerning
I keep dreaming of a fire but when I wake up to the cold
It's only smoke
Eyes are hypnotizing when they hold you within their embrace
Words are mesmerizing even when they've got nothing to say
The game is charming in an empty kind of way
What's the harm in asking me to play
It's only smoke
You might say a flame is burning
Only smoke
But my heart is more discerning
I keep dreaming of a fire but when I wake up to the cold
It's only smoke
It's only smoke
It's only smoke
