Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell Lyrics






Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Now they call you Prince Charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Hey, you're a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before

One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

  81. a.... s....

    Did 10 years doing coke and boozing, speed so on and so forth and came back from it. Experimental fun turned into a living nightmare for me. One of the few who walked away without counseling or rehabilitation. A wise man once told me if you don't want to use it is simple. Just stop. It took me years to comprehend those two words but it was and is correct on so many levels. You can disagree but mind over matter is all it was. Clean 10 years now with a daughter to raise.

    a.... s....

    nice dream became a nightmare ,,,

    a.... s....

    Keep up the good work dude. Your daughter is worth it.
