My name is David, and I have a fear Which I'd like to explain to all of you here It's not complex at all, the epitome of simplicity To rid myself of it would give me much felicity
Although my fear is simple, not in any way complicated Do not for a second think it can be overrated It's killed many people, billions in fact Ruined their lives, yes it has really done that
I know that you're wondering what could have such power And I don't want to keep you here, hour after hour So I won't delay any longer, with more introductions I won't turn this into a major production
The fear that I have, if you'll just bear with me briefly Is of not having a cigarette, that's what it is, chiefly Could not live my life without its magical presence Which is very strange, since it's really a menace Alessandra Liverani, 2003
