"Coffee and a Cigarette" is a sunny indie rock revival buzzing with charming notes of psychedelic folk — and it's the first taste from Brother Oliver in 2019.

lyrics

Lost in the silence
Chasing a soul that wanders about
Hoping I find it
Cause I’m feeling too old to chase it around

I stare through these eyelids
Hoping that the darkness reveals what I hide
Each night I fight it
But I still wake up with these memories lying there by side

So I keep living off of coffee
And dying off a cigarette
Living off of coffee
And dying off a cigarette

Trapped in this body
Locked up inside I am bound up in chains
The world just forgot me
Feel like heading to the tracks
Gon’ lay down for a train

Not alot of good things are about me
Oh I know
At least when you tell me won’t you look me in the eyes
I’m no life to copy I realize
But I know that if you did you’d be surprised with what you’d find

That I keep living off of coffee
And dying off a cigarette
Living off of coffee
And dying off a cigarette

So I keep living off of coffee
And dying off a cigarette
Living off of coffee
And dying off a cigarette

I put this to song hoping my mind would be clear
I play for my soul I’ve never played for my ears
And when I pray to the Lord I simply pray that he hears
That same old song I’ve been playing for years

So I keep living off of coffee
And dying off a cigarette
Living off of coffee
And dying off a cigarette

So I keep living off of coffee
And dying off a cigarette
Living off of coffee
And dying off a cigarette
