Nick Drake - Been Smoking Too Long - Lyrics

From Nick’s album “Time of no Reply“ - 1986 Well I wake up in the morning Look at my clock It’s way past noon time Now I’m late for work. Tell me, tell me What have I done wrong? Ain’t nothing go right with me Must be I’ve been smoking too long. Well I go to find me some breakfast But I ain’t got no food Take me a shower But the water don’t feel no good. Tell me... I’ve got opium in my chimney No other life to choose Nightmare made of hash dreams. Got the devil in my shoes Tell me... Well when I’m smoking Put my worries on a shelf Don’t think about nothin’ Try not to see myself. Tell me... Well in this blues I’m singin’ There’s a lesson to be learned Don’t go around smokin’ Unless you want to get burned. Tell me...
