There I was stranded ,with a cigarrete in my hand;
and as far as I could see there wasn't a spark thruout the land.
I began to smash two rocks together, trying to get a spark or two,
but I couldn't light up my cigarrete what was I to do?

Well I must of walked a thousand miles, before it suddenly hit .
I began to jerk uncontrollably, I was having a nicotine fit ,
and thru the corner of my eye, I could see it watching me.
I swear that my cigarrette was making fun of me!

CHORUS: I need A light
I need a light for my cigarrette!
Well its gotta be strong, its gotta be bright
cause its gotta hold out in the wind

I need a liiiight
Does anybody have a light for me ?
Cause I gotta get smoke down into my lungs
so I can get my nicotine
I need a light

Well an idea suddenly hit I me, when I saw the lightning strike.
I figured if I sat under a tree, theres a chance I might get hit.
Well I knew the risk to my life but I didn't care a bit,
all I know is I got to get this stupid cigarrette lit!

I must of waited a couple of hours, before the lightning finally struck,
& I remember seeing my cigarrette lit, just before I passed out.
and when I came to my clothes were burn't & I could smell burn't flesh
and beside me lay the burn't remains of my cigarrette!

CHORUS: I need A light
I need a light for my cigarrette!
Well its gotta be strong, its gotta be bright
cause its gotta hold out in the wind

I need a liiiight
Does anybody have a light for me ?
Cause I gotta get smoke down into my lungs
so I can get my nicotine
I need a light
