Eddie Kendricks Going Up In Smoke Lyrics

Going Up In Smoke Lyrics

Talked to my friend again today

Forty days and forty nights

It rained all over the world 

To be exact

[to be exact]



sinners played and disobeyed

the Word coming down, 

that’s a fact

[that’s a fact]



Some people take it for a joke

they can’t understand

They nailed Our Saviour to the cross

But he told them all

He’d rise again, rise again!

I talked to my friend again today

This is what he had to say:

You’re going up in smoke

going up in smoke

going up in smoke

and we ain’t got no hope

we’re going up in smoke



I talked to my friuend again today

This is what he had to say:

You’re going up in smoke

going up in smoke

going up in smoke

and we ain’t got no hope

‘cause we’re going up in smoke!....



I talked to my friend again today

don’t be afraid by what I say

don’t wait ‘till Judgement Day 

to start to pray…

stop the hey! killing now

We’ll all have to go anyhow

Everyone’s having tons of fun

Who’s gonna take the blame?

He let His Son get close to earth

So we all go up

In bright of day

In bright of day



I talked to my friend again today

This is what he had to say:

You’re going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

and we ain’t got no hope

‘cause we’re going up in smoke!....



You’re going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

and we ain’t got no hope

‘cause we’re going up in smoke!

Oh, I talked to my friend today….



Music break



Everybody’s having tons of fun

Who’s gonna take the blame?

He let His Son Come to earth

So we all go up

In bright of day

In bright of day



I talked to my friend again today

This is what he had to say:

You’re going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

and we ain’t got no hope

‘cause we’re going up in smoke!....



You’re going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

and we ain’t got no hope,

‘cause we’re going up in smoke!

I talked to my friend today….



going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

and we ain’t got no hope,

‘cause we’re going up in smoke!



going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

and we ain’t got no hope,

‘cause we’re going up in smoke!

going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

and we ain’t got no hope,

‘cause we’re going up in smoke!



Going, going…

Yeah, Sinners prayed, disobeyed,

The word coming down….



Going, ooohh, yeah…

Everyone’s having tons of fun….

Who’s gonna take the blame?...



Chorus:(Repeat x 5)

going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

going up in smoke,

and we ain’t got no hope,

‘cause we’re going up in smoke!
