| Lyric: |
Coal smoke curls from the chimney Slowly floats off as a cloud The plant bell rings at 5 o'clock Just as the sun's going down Car lights poke holes in the distance Every eye strains through the smog Chorus: Going home, going home Everybody's going home A way down home Ashtrays lie on the table Boardmen sit on the chairs The chairman stands by the blackboard Numbers fly through the air If no one has any questions This meeting is adjourned Chorus The college gym is crowded The concert will begin A thousand matches strike up As the lights begin to dim Sweet smoke controls the mind It hovers like a cloud Chorus The preacher starts his sermon Hell flames rising higher Hands reach for their handkerchieves You can't help but perspire The congregation lines the aisles I'm dying for a smoke Chorus Coal smoke curls from the chimney Slowly floats off as a cloud The plant bell rings at 5 o'clock Just as the sun's going down Car lights poke holes in the distance Every eye strains through the smog Chorus (2x) |
