Tick-tock went the watch on your wrist
   Telling you softly of the minutes you've missed
   Kneeling down with your head in the bowl
   Telling yourself, there should never be days like this
   Just when you thought that you had it down
   You woke up dreaming of cocaine and clowns
   Everybody knew that you sang the blues
   No one could guess that you would sing them like this
  
   CHORUS
  
   Smoke and ashes
   Smoke and ashes
   A comet burns and then it crashes
   Smoke and ashes
   You spilled the beans on Friday night
   Now Monday's here and there's no one in sight
   But, hey, that's the price that you've got to pay
   For letting yourself get your own way
  
   CHORUS
