Lyrics

Cocaine, Cocaine
You're running through my brain
You make where good is due
Let it rain
Let it rain
Cocaine, sweet cocaine
As the winter wonderlands often do

They think I'm nutty they think I'm mad
Well they think I'm straight insane
How could I be the man they want without my powdered train
Train to nowhere on my Cocaine
It's what they want no matter what they say
Or I'd restore my sanity as a lovebird man

When I'm feeling sad and blue
Baby I'm not needing you
It’s sweet cocaine that guides my trailing id
When those tears come coming down
Babe, just run to Dr. Brown
And ask him for that mighty fine cocaine

Love, you can't hold a flame to that mighty fine cocaine
Please don't leave me baby, it’s you I'm needing just the same

They say, yes they say
That cocaine will end your days
But never did they ever tell me when
Today, today,
The id will want to win
Some peaceful travels for my woeful brain

Don't you come on back to me
Without the pretty powder please
I don't have love when I'm not satisfied
Babe it’s me it is not you
You've been blessed with such a fool
For that pretty powder pumpkin please tonight

Love, you can't hold a flame to that mighty fine cocaine
Please don't leave me baby
Please don't leave me baby
Please don't leave me baby
It’s you I'm needing just the same

Cocaine, Cocaine
Quit running through my brain
