Desire To Be Better
That day like all other days
I stopped at the cigarette shop
To light up and blow away the blues
The packs have bigger warning pictures
At sundown a friend offers a drink

wandering in the wide sea.
The chains are removed
there are no blinkers
it can travel far
Into every nook and corner
it is unstoppable
