Eddie Kendricks - 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,
thatÂÂÂÂÂ's a fact
[thatÂÂÂÂÂ's a fact]

Some people take it for a joke
they canÂÂÂÂÂ't understand
They nailed Our Saviour to the cross
But he told them all
HeÂÂÂÂÂ'd rise again, rise again!
I talked to my friend again today
This is what he had to say:
YouÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke
going up in smoke
going up in smoke
and we ainÂÂÂÂÂ't got no hope
weÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke

I talked to my friuend again today
This is what he had to say:
YouÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke
going up in smoke
going up in smoke
and we ainÂÂÂÂÂ't got no hope
‘cause weÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke!....

I talked to my friend again today
donÂÂÂÂÂ't be afraid by what I say
donÂÂÂÂÂ't wait ‘till Judgement Day
to start to pray…
stop the hey! killing now
WeÂÂÂÂÂ'll all have to go anyhow
EveryoneÂÂÂÂÂ's having tons of fun
WhoÂÂÂÂÂ'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:
YouÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ainÂÂÂÂÂ't got no hope
‘cause weÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke!....

YouÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ainÂÂÂÂÂ't got no hope
‘cause weÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke!
Oh, I talked to my friend today….

Music break

EverybodyÂÂÂÂÂ's having tons of fun
WhoÂÂÂÂÂ'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:
YouÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ainÂÂÂÂÂ't got no hope
‘cause weÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke!....

YouÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ainÂÂÂÂÂ't got no hope,
‘cause weÂÂÂÂÂ'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 ainÂÂÂÂÂ't got no hope,
‘cause weÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke!

going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ainÂÂÂÂÂ't got no hope,
‘cause weÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke!
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ainÂÂÂÂÂ't got no hope,
‘cause weÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke!

Going, going…
Yeah, Sinners prayed, disobeyed,
The word coming down….

Going, ooohh, yeah…
EveryoneÂÂÂÂÂ's having tons of fun….
WhoÂÂÂÂÂ's gonna take the blame?...

Chorus:(Repeat x 5)
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
going up in smoke,
and we ainÂÂÂÂÂ't got no hope,
‘cause weÂÂÂÂÂ're going up in smoke!
