"Cigarettes and Valentines" Lyrics:
I don't wanna go back home
I don't wanna kiss goodnight
Let us paralyze this moment til it dies

To the end of the earth
Under the Valley of the Stars
There's a car crashing deep inside my heart

Take a ride through the avenues
Across the Great Divide
There's a siren screaming "I'm alive"
It cries

Red alert is the color
Of your paper valentines
Intertwined on this moment passing by

Take a ride through the avenues
Across the Great Divide
There's a siren screaming "I'm alive"
It cries

Red alert is the color
Of your paper valentines
Intertwined on this moment passing by

So come away
With me tonight
With cigarettes and valentines

Cigarettes and valentines

So come away
With me tonight
With cigarettes and valentines

So come away
With me tonight
With cigarettes and valentines

Cigarettes and valentines

Green Day revealed that they did get the Tracks of their planned Album "Cigarettes And Valentines" back. But don't really have any plans to release them. They are just kept in the "Green Day Vault" so to speak. Billie Joe has revealed though that the song on their Album "Revolution Radio" entitled YoungBlood was originally going to be part of "Cigarettes And Valentines", and eventually put it on RevRad with a facelift, and changed lyrics.

[TheInfamousLegend]

ah yes, Billie Joe, a man of many talents:
- Good songwriter
- Simple, but effective guitar lines
- Can change between two guitars during a live concert which somehow ALWAYS have the same sound throughout the performance

[AlolanAlomomola]

Not every band performs unreleased songs live so their fans can hear them. This is epic of them.

[machieldevries]

This is unironically one of my favourite green day songs

[FootofaFerret]

I like how they made the whole stage look like it would have in 1995

[bigsirenguy]

I really love 'American Idiot', but I really wish they'd find those 'Cigarettes and Valentines' tapes. I've heard that it's supposed to sound like pre- 'Nimrod' Green Day. And judging from this song, I think that is right.

[xTempiist]

i honestly wish that they would record this song in the studio. not the whole album, just this song

[CrisKG]

I hope this song finds it's self on a Green Day album real soon. Come on Billie you know want to put this on the next album.

[lolgal]

My older brother, he's 21, has a T-Shirt with the album art for Cigarettes and Valentines on it. I shall secretly shrink it in the dryer. 

[Oligel]

billie is so good, he can change his guitar while playing at 0:18

[JacksonTheEpic]

Who ever stole the mixes of this album needs to leak that shit ASAP

Lyrics

I don't wanna go back home
I don't wanna kiss goodnight
Let us paralyze this moment til it dies

To the end of the earth
Under the Valley of the Stars
There's a car crashing deep inside my heart

Take a ride through the avenues
Across the Great Divide
There's a siren screaming "I'm alive"
It cries

Red alert is the color
Of your paper valentines
Intertwined on this moment passing by

Take a ride through the avenues
Across the Great Divide
There's a siren screaming "I'm alive"
It cries

Red alert is the color
Of your paper valentines
Intertwined on this moment passing by

Do you wanna be my valentine?

So come away with me tonight
With cigarettes and valentines

Cigarettes and valentines!

[AqilKamaludin]

THE REASON WHY THEY DIDN'T MAKE A STUDIO VERSION : They played this song too damn well live.

[aracelygutierrez]

0:05 The sign that says no man can eat 50 eggs xD

[HarryisCOOL]

They really need to release the lost album it's just sounds amazing

[slyfor]

And with that another one of my favorite bands adds to the list of "Awesome songs not on their albums"
Linkin Park - New Divide
MCR - Desolation Row
Green Day - Cigarettes and Valentines

[zaidmundewadi]

I just love the bass level in these songs, makes the bass stand out!

[KazKraven]

Green Day's live performances become my drug
