lyrics

It’s the spirit of smoke
It’ll grab your throat like a tropical dancer
Like a king in a moat
It’ll steal your vote, it’ll give you cancer
With an ounce of rum, you’re the string and the strum
You’re a brown romancer
Cause it’s the spirit of smoke
It’ll make you relax, forget the facts and give up your chances
Eight million lies on paradise
You can live in style if you got the green
But if you use the peso, adios amigo to your plans and schemes
You can never leave
It’s the spirit of smoke
It’ll float your boat while the tide is high
But when you reach the shore it’ll break your oar
It’ll make you cry
With a splash of coke, you’re the running joke in the pinko sky
But when you reach the shore, it’ll break your oar
It’ll make you die
