I was in the cafeteria when word came down
Maria from HR with something heavy to announce
I couldn't believe my ears
Not in my nine years
Smoke Breaks will no longer be allowed
Starting out on Monday, the cherry dies
We don't have a word in what the company decides
What are we gonna do without that misty blue
And the very best excuse to go outside
There's not a lot keeps returning to this office
The best of us have made it out
And the rest of us are here cause we can't disappear
So unlike our bi-weekly bank accounts
Believe me, if I could, I'd be outta here already
Somewhere in the rocky mountains, smokin soft and steady
But for now I'm right here
Selling my time
I pray for better hours
On and off the line
I wanna take it slow
I pray for you in kind
The smoke break in an institution at this office
Keepin our minds from windin down
And it doesn't hurt to be away from the screen
Fifteen minutes is all we need
We never miss the chance, even when the days get colder
Better to be face to face than shoulder to shoulder
I've seen a lot of you in the office courtyard
Hacking up a lung, and crying in the car
Cause anything is better
You'd agree, you're like me, we're together
Flightless birds of a feather
And I know your heart, and you know my mind
You wanna get outta here, and I know we're outta time
The timer says one minute, 59, 58, 57
Seconds left of heaven
