DescriptionA poetic comparison between a human and a cigarette machine, one that comes out on the side of the machine.

Both humans and cigarette machines vomit out their insides, but what the vomit produces is different. When humans vomit, they produce bile and doubt. Cigarette machines vomit cigarettes, which can bring people solace.
LyricsDry heave doubt
From a little dragon's mouth
Split lip and split tongue
Finally, cross eyed

She stands next to the cigarette machine
"This device has got it made," she thinks
It has a cast iron stomach
But a candle for a heart

Odd the way the very stuff falls out
Hard the way it makes you doubt
This thing leaps up and complains, full of bile
Not even starcrossed, just unlucky
Odd how the very stuff falls out
Hard the way it makes you smile
This thing leaps up and complains
Not even starcrossed, just unluckyYou might also like
