Story of a window-washer in NYC trying to give up smoking after 9/11.

lyrics

NICORETTE (by Scott Mickelson)

It says right here how to buy babies in China
It says right here there's a baby grand in Biscayne Bay
It says right here how the firemen started the fire

They needed something to put out
Now the Park Hotel's in ashes
I held my breath trying to get out
Now there's only so much Nicorette I can chew

Thank you waitress no Shark Fin soup for me
I'll try the special don't mind the Mercury
But can I please have the table by the door

I only eat here for distraction
Now there's a man outside preaching his
Anti-American manifesto
I hope I don't make eye contact

Now there's only so much Nicorette I can chew
Only so much to help me through

It says right here how they closed Penn Central
Something just didn't smell right
I brace myself awaiting an earful

Tough times for window washers
So hard to tell which way the wind blows
But the weather up here is oh so fine
Now there's only so much Nicorette I can chew
