Smoke Ring

My magic 8-ball told me
Look out for people who smile too much
When you live in a plastic bubble
It’s easier to breathe
And it’s so easy to believe
My cage
My cell
My private hell
Temporary halo
Floating like a smoke ring
Hanging round your head, I’m gone
Momentary weakness
Hit me like a freight-train
Leaving me for dead
Just one hollow victory
Can make you forget the greed you show
When you think that you own yourself
You find yourself alone
And your ego’s overblown
I jade myself
This empty shell
My cage
My cell
My private hell
Temporary halo
Floating like a smoke ring
Hanging round your head, I’m gone
Momentary weakness
Hit me like the house that landed on the wicked witch of the East
I proceed to press rewind (What was I supposed to do?)
I believe I’m wasting time
Angel can fly
Angel can fly so high
She carries me up to the sun
(Even as I’m watching her fall)
My eyes are open wide
I know that I could follow her down
Temporary halo
Floating like a smoke ring
Hanging round your head, I’m gone
Momentary weakness
Hit me like the house that landed on the wicked witch of the East
Temporary halo
Floating like a smoke ring
Hanging round your head, I’m gone
Momentary weakness
Hit me like a freight-train
Leaving me for dead
I proceed to press rewind.
