Jack The Ripper I Was Born A Cancer Lyrics

Listen, listen to this song
I was told that I was strong
When I had to go
Went to the tropics
Beneath the capricorn
My captain said "you have a cancer of the lungs"
I said amen to the smoke of tobacco (3 times)
It's a divine holocaust
I said amen to the smoke of tobacco (3 times)
oh my love
You ask me "why do you smoke?"
But you talk and talk and talk and talk
You never have a look at the clouds
You see in heaven, angels smoke too
They do get bored baby, like me, like you
If it's not stress I guess, it must be happiness
That made them send those lovely s.o.s.
I was born to die of cancer
I was born to die of cancer
I was born to die of cancer
No matter if I smoke I was stressed I was pressed
I feel pained I feel drained
I was born to die of cancer
No matter if I smoke
Marlboro, Marlboro lights, Dunhill gold, Lucky strike
Camel blend, Craven A, Gauloises blondes, Benson &
Hedges
You tell me, it's suicide, it's true we don't have so
much time
To start a cure of disintoxication
But it's so hard to be modern. to be careful with your
health
I'm not a sportsman after all
"cult of the body destroys the soul, yeah the soul"
We have to roll on, we have to roll on
Oh baby ash to ash and now dust to dust
I was still smoking, on the verge of dying
Oh baby ash to ash and now it's dust to dust
Oh baby ash to ash and now it's gone!
