King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Catching Smoke Lyrics

Catching Smoke Lyrics by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

[Verse 1] 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 25 dollars
Maybe we could go halvies?
So just gimme 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 moonlit 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

 

[Verse 2] Give me 5, 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 25 dollars
Maybe we could go halvies?
So just gimme 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 moonlit 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

[Verse 3] Hogtied to self-indulgence
Epicureanly living la dolce vita
Just pa$$ the aux cord

[Pre-Chorus] I’ve got happiness inside my pocket
It cost me 25 dollars
Maybe we could go halvies?
So just gimme 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 moonlit 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
