"Catching Smoke" lyrics - KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD

KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD
"Catching Smoke"
(Stuart Mackenzie / Joey Walker)

For one night, I'm the hero
Suit up, tie
Open the doors to the Oval Office
In this story, I'm president

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've got happiness inside my pocket
It cost me twenty-five dollars
Maybe we could go halvies?
So gimme just a couple hours
Starting fires with soggy timber
Then I'll have the magic powers
Woo!

[Chorus:]
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Swallowing the sun in a moonlight room
Standing at the foot of a rainbow
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Riding on a yellow-bellied brown snake
Sipping on hedonism

Give me five, it's all I need
To inscribe my epitaph while I float
O.B.E, am I dead or just paranoid?

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've got happiness inside my pocket
It cost me twenty-five dollars
Maybe we could go halvies?
So gimme just a couple hours
Starting fires with soggy timber
Then I'll have the magic powers
Woo!

[Chorus:]
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Swallowing the sun in a moonlight room
Standing at the foot of a rainbow
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Riding on a yellow-bellied brown snake
Sipping on hedonism

[Refrain:]
Catching smoke, catching smoke, catching smoke
Catching smoke, catching smoke, catching smoke

Hogtied to self-indulgence
Epicureanly living la dolce vita
Just pass the aux cord

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've got happiness inside my pocket
It cost me twenty-five dollars
Maybe we could go halvies?
So gimme just a couple hours
Starting fires with soggy timber
Then I'll have the magic powers
Woo!

[Chorus:]
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Swallowing the sun in a moonlight room
Standing at the foot of a rainbow
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Riding on a yellow-bellied brown snake
Sipping on hedonism

[Refrain:]
Catching smoke, catching smoke, catching smoke
Catching smoke, catching smoke, catching smoke

[Bridge:]
Not enough hours in the night
To keep me on this stinking horse
Everyone's rolling up pineapples
Writhing in the space between it all
Long live my decisions

[Refrain:]
Catching smoke, catching smoke, catching smoke
Catching smoke, catching smoke, catching smoke
