Premiere
The Label — nine warnings, one door
No notes yet — be the first.
The song is on YouTube: watch the video.
The pack does the talking. Eight of the nine American warning lines close a door — the ninth, in the same black letters, leaves one open.
The lyric
[verse]
I was folded in your pocket when you were seventeen
I was cheaper than a coffee, I was always in between
I have been your oldest friend and I have been your worst mistake
I am paper, I am promise, I am everything I take
[verse]
Your father knew my language, and his father knew it too
I am patient, I am quiet, I am never done with you
I have never once been late, I have never been unkind
I just hand you back the morning you were hoping not to find
[chorus]
Read me, I am not hiding
"Cigarettes are addictive"
"Smoking can kill you"
"Tobacco smoke can harm your children"
Read me while you still can
[verse]
"Cigarettes cause fatal lung disease"
"Cigarettes cause cancer"
"Cigarettes cause strokes and heart disease"
I am written on my own skin, I am my own answer
"Smoking during pregnancy can harm your baby"
"Tobacco smoke causes fatal lung disease in nonsmokers"
[bridge]
Nine lines, that is all I ever needed
Eight of them are mine to keep
But the last one is a door, and it is not locked
It has been open the whole time
[chorus]
"Quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health"
Say it out loud, say it plainly
"Quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health"
That is the whole warning, that is all of me
[outro]
Nine lines.
One of them was always on your side.
