John Martyn - Cocaine Lyrics
Did you hear a story about Cocaine Lil? She had a cocaine house on cocaine hill She had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat She even had a cocaine rat And it's all round my brain Been walking round 10th Street and Main I've been looking for a girlie to give me cocaine Cocaine's sure running round my brain Been strolling round 10th Street and Main Been looking for someone to give me cocaine Cocaine's sure running round my brainWell, Cocaine Lil and Morphine Sue They've been strolling down the avenue two by two Says Lil to Sue, ''It's gonna do no harm If we both have a little old shot in the arm'' And it's all round my veins, oh cocaine Doctor tell me again and again He say, ''Cocaine's forces ain't for men'' Cocaine's sure running round my brain You know the doctor tell me, tell me again and again He say, ''Cocaine'll kill you son, it won't say when'' Cocaine's sure running round my brain Yonder's baby, she's dressed in white I said, ''Hey now mama, gonna stay all night'' Cocaine's sure running round my brain Now there runs my baby, she's all dressed in black You said you know I didn't mean it, won't you please come back Cocaine's sure running round my brain Hey baby, please come quick This old cocaine's making me sick Cocaine's sure running round my brain
