Non smoking city

Welcome to New York
Could I see some ID please?
Take it as a compliment mam,
cause you sure don't look your age.

And I'm in New York, at 33
not quite as young as...
and I look around me
trying to find fire
in a non smoking city.

Surely there must be
a man with fire here,
surely that which you hold
is a smoking gun,
surely this is smoke I see...

And the only fire I know
is asleep, where I come from.
6:00 a.m. in Beirut.
Sir,
could you spare a match?
