The cigarette of a single man 

Burns in the ashtray by his bed 

He pulls the ring of another can 

And holds it up beside his head 

The book he reads is on the floor 

He's read it several times before 

What you got to go home to? 

The cigarette of a single man 

Sits in the ashtray on the bar 

He sits and sifts through several plans 

But knows alone he won't go far 

He needs the love another has 

To help him, if another can 

Photos 

The cigarette of a single man 

Lays in the gutter by his side 

Now he's one of those little lambs 

Who strayed too far from the flock to find 

He's better off without the grief 

That people wear between their teeth 

And in his mouth as he's asleep 

The cigarette of a single man
