Daniel Johnston - I Save Cigarette Butts Lyrics

Artist: Daniel Johnston

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Jazz

Thank you and goodnight
Could you say, I love you Danny?
You want me to, could you?
I love you Danny, aw, that's great

I save cigarette butts
For a poor girl, across town

We were making marriage plans
And some guy came over
And took her to a wrestling match

Later that evening Frankenstein
And the beauty queen sat thumbing
Through a better Home and Gardens magazine
Making plans and holding hands

Along came a spider
And sat down beside her
And took her to a wrestling match

I had this dream about these angels
I had this dream the other night
It was really weird

They were playing guitars
And getting loud
And they spilled beer on Jesus

I save cigarette butts
For a poor girl, across town

I spent a lot of money at the pizza shop
Just to watch the waitresses
Walk back and forth

I go to school, I'm a college student
I have a secret pocket
On the inside of my coat
Where I keep the cigarette butts

Meanwhile on the dance floor
The loud guitar solos
Seem to be promoting wild desires

The music has set their hearts on fire
With lust, sure are a lot of cigarette butts
Laying around

I thought I'd give her one more chance
So I went over to see her again at her house
And when I walked in there was, her and him
And they were having a wrestling match

I save cigarette butts
For a poor girl, across town

Hello, hello?
