Lyrics for Cocaine Man
14th of June, 1912, I woke up feeling sprightly Woke out of bed, thought, "Mama, you've done me proud" Looked over the kitchen sink, thought wow, that's my house I paid the mortgage, it's mine Got up, cup of coffee, went down nice, didn't it? Made me feel a bit moodkey Then I stood up straight and proud, and I knew I was a man Thought, "Mama, you've done me proud" Here comes the cocaine man Here comes a man We wear friendly smiles all night Get bladdered on Lucifer's grain Pray it never stop Here comes the cocaine man Here comes a man So the car pulls up and I go downstairs I'm wearing my best trousers and I'm feeling happy Sunlight is shining down I'm wearing Topsham blue shoes With a crisp lime trouser line Beautiful it is, the day's beautiful too Here comes the cocaine man Here comes a man We wear friendly smiles all night Get bladdered on Lucifer's grain Pray it never stop Here comes the cocaine man Here comes a man Crash bang, when I meet her, she's beautiful, she is She stands alone, not caring who's looking Her name's Rebecca Trollop and I fall right into her trap Bang, it's disgusting Here comes the cocaine man Here comes a man We wear friendly smiles all night Get bladdered on Lucifer's grain Pray it never stop Here comes the cocaine man Here comes a man
