Kick the legs out underneath the seat Grabbed the shattered glass and imagine playing their neck like a violin Put my fist down n' felt the heavy thoughts I wanna shoot up but more drugs will probably make it worse They took my love N' I'm seeing blood Tell me the truth Am I gonna make it through I need to leave again Pack my bags and catch a train Maybe ride the rails Save myself some dollar bills N' I tell it time and time I'll get drunk and really high Watching the hills Tree's like the ocean blue Yeah far away and vacant too Threw the dope out stuck to warm meals and the cold beers Settled down with a gutter punk I met in Orleans A better start to something God it feels so nice to live again I said oh what a fool I am They took my love Screw moving on Friends tell me still That they know I will Ran to jump aboard Chug away and leave it all Rediscovered what it's like To hit the bottle in the night N' find me at the dunes Let the air complete me And ask the wind Can you take a wish to heaven I just want too live again yeah

Found my father with the roaches Found my mother in her bed Shotgun shells along the floor N' holes inside their heads Wept the corner til it molded Left the blood until it stained Drank reckless on the porch step As I watched their souls escape Please don't forget me When the pearly gates budge to let you in Please don't let me Find myself lost again Found the darkness in the parking lot Where penumbras reigned as lords And the whores I had mistaken As the angels of intercourse Left the wicked to destruction Let it sit inside my mind Thought I could recover Well hell I must be blind Please don't forget me I've nothing greater still Please don't let me Use my heart to kill Let the rats run through the garbage Saw the mother feed her face This engine key won't ever turn I'm better off as dead Please don't forget me Yeah
3.
Well it's quick and painless The thought is contagious Should I stay and wait this through Should I really fall for you In the hour of the moonlight I'm sleeping by the phone Just waiting for an answer To if you're coming home It's the darkest truth It will kill me when you do It's too cold outside to cry No, and ya not my love I take my time when I wake yeah Look outside and let my mind make up All the dollhouses home to no face You want me dead but I dug my own grave It's the darkest truth It will kill me when ya do No and it's too cold outside to cry No, and ya not my love No and ya not my love No and ya not my love Well It's quick and painless Thought is contagious Should I wait this through Should I fall for you In the hour of the moonlight I'm sleeping by the phone Waiting for that answer If ya coming home It's the darkest truth It will kill me when ya do No and it's too cold outside to cry No, and ya not my love No and ya not my love No and ya not my love

I'm caught in a storm yeah It's been cloudy for days The ruggedness of living Has shadowed my hatred This house that I home Could come down anytime I'm breathing for the opera Playing for my life My friends and I do The same shit everyday Get drunk on the porch bench And talk about pain We're all in a standby Scrounging up change For noodles and salt Another bottle to drink oh I'm scared that I'll get stuck Doing nothing more Working shit retail 'Til I'm eighty four I just wanna play the stage And pluck my guitar Get paid to be happy And drive my own car But the bed that I sleep in Encumbers my soul Stained with blood n' drugs n' cum N' cigarettes I smoke yeah This world gets so hard Harder than steel But stealing's what I'm good at When it comes to beer yeah Another spacebag Another jar of gin Two bottles of fucking mad dog N' I'm still fuckin' breathin' The frat fuckin' fucks Piss on my house, belittle me I'm just trying to pour my art out From the vortex I'm trapped in I know that I'm charming Attractive and sweet But my ego comes from somewhere That I know that I ain't So lend me your ear And waste all your time Enjoying my songs So I don't waste mine Is it better than nothing Better than death One sounds less enticing Another sweeter than red wine And most of my partners Cheated on me Fucked in my bathroom And fucked where I dream I'm sick of the road And putting up tents And giving all my change When I need it myself So I settled here quick To chase piece of mind I lost it instead and made a Porch drunk lullaby Where the walls tell of whispers The stories of sin The darkest parts the most Depressing of kids So pull out a lighter And pop another beer Hope it hits you in the eye And you perceive only half what is unclear
5.
Ate my shirt kicked a kid Smoked my weight in parliaments While I was waiting here for you Tied my shoes sang the day Knocked on wood and prayed you came I ran out of things to do Well them sandy dunes got me Sand in my shoes feeling alive Well dem Folsom blues she singing But it my mind I'm so caught up Oh dat first kiss Lit them pulls burned the sheets Smoked more cigs than there are degrees hile I was waiting there for you Made my coffee drank it black Always get them panic attacks So I, jumped back in bed with you Well them wispy dreams she's seeing Car horns and birds keep ringing Well them fifty years we got through Still holding hands While I was waiting there for you
6.
Yeah sitting on the front porch All of the moments have been burned in my mind And the roof like always been leaking N' I ain't seen a day where it's dry My landlord took my home Spit on my heart yeah and buried my bones Now I'm sitting with the trash with a beard like a sheep I tried to pray and God is laughing at me yeah the blues Tried to heal myself in almost every way I hope I die before the start of the morning oh yeah Staring in the mirror searching for tears I feel like weeping but they've yet to appear oh the blues Fascist statements made for fashion Molotov cocktails two parts passion Oh yeah well ya making me sick The way ya fightin' no it ain't doing shit yeah the blues
7.
Got by my whole life just to be here now Grey skies and sundials tell time I'm wearing down Well they say the same things about my clothes as they do love A heavy heart of lead tumbled the dust fro m your hair I'm pushing forward still Relax all you want I'll take that precipice Broke as hell from alcohol Oh they're running for me Oh they're running for me still Oh they're aiming for me Yeah they're aiming for me still Yeah they're coming for me Coming to kill me still Got by my whole life just to spange the streets Packed up in the night and hitched from this evil place I'd say goodbye darling but the graveyard told me I am much to human So I will write you a story to commemorate the drugs that you would not stop using I'm pushing forward still Relax all you want I'll take that precipice Broke as hell from alcohol Oh they're running for me Oh they're running for me still Oh they're aiming for me Yeah they're aiming for me still Yeah they're coming for me Coming to kill me still

Iron Strings 04:18
Well I couldn't move in the night These shadows took my last breath away And I'd love to put up a fight Instead I'm inside Paintings of the other kind N' I can't recall my face I forgot how the river flows And It's December oh I wish I could remember One thousand roses That withered just for you Well I couldn't leave me there I couldn't breathe in the end The cold was all that remained It never snows when I need it most Oh I've been rotting in the water I've been sinking down in them bottles And I need to fake where I'll get Cause it's all gone along and Made me who I am N I hung from iron strings The catacombs of dust and bones Circled the streets in place Where had you gone, where did they take you my love N' it's just too far, too far, too far for me N' it's just too long, too long, too long til I wake from my sleep
9.
The soft bite of the frigid cold I'll die here in the city By the sidewalk in the streets With uncovered toes Won't someone help me All I need's a dollar bill And a blanket, for The cold... Oh how the days go by, Mm, and the months do too I'm losing hope I'll make it through Sitting by the tree in the pavement Watching the news Through the glass of the shopping mall While they play the blues Oh, Hallelujah died No one can save me From the dark and empty cold... Oh how the months go bye Oh, and the years do too I'm losing all by living on
10.
Blood n' money oh he's using again Trainspotting on the rails in a tin can Doesn't matter at the end of the day As long as he run away numb and empty Hit the bottle like he hit in the ring Hoping either woulda knocked him dead But he's alive and well and trying again With a sugar spoon and new syringe Fuck if I know what he's thinking Fuck if I know who's to blame Fuck if I even have an opinion It's not my battle to judge him at all Cause that Cool Hand Luke Gonna gamble, like a losing man Straight out of the gutters of Orleans Half witted and close to death He spent the last bit of money on Cigarettes Rundown and puckered up with both fists Aimed at a street sign he mistook for a man Who caught his shoulder as he pay Fuck if I know what he's thinking Fuck if I know who's to blame Fuck if I even have an opinion It's not my battle to judge him at all Cause that Cool Hand Luke Gonna gamble, like a losing man
11.
Oh heaven help me, where is the woe Why are they leaving, where will they go All my friends are losing to suicide and drugs Oh and they're sleeping so comatose in blood Committing treason to God And death is walking with me My angels praying "please save his soul" "Oh let him know what it's like to grow old" Oh and mother don't shed a tear A different coast yeah but I'm always right here The winter season is cold And death is walking with me Oh and the heaving of a tortured boat So misleading as the quickest way home Promised fortune but the earliest grave Their bleeding hearts hanging like drapes The curtains closing the stage And death is walking with me And death is walking with me And death is walking with me Death is walking with me

about

Cigarettes and Milk Portland, Oregon

Everyone says my moniker is gross. Cigarettes and Milk is the factual and fictitious project of Waldo Przekop. Which is me. Stories of a kid who hates the system of oppression put in place by a capitalist society. Songs of my deepest internal grief and anxiety. I am emotional, almost none of my music is happy. I am a lo-fidelity musician and I am folk out of the gutter. A blueberry farmer too. ... more
