Cocaine Lill Lyrics

Did you hear a story about Cocaine Lill?
She had a cocaine house on a cocaine hill.
She had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat,
She even had a cocaine rat.
And it's all around my brain...

Been walking around 10th street and Main;
I've been looking for a girlie to give me cocaine.
Cocaine sure running around my brain.
Been strolling 'round 10th street and Main,
Been looking for someone to give me cocaine;
Cocaine, sure running around my brain...

Well, Cocaine Lill and Morphine Sue,
They've been strolling down the avenue, two by two.
Says Lill to Sue, 'It's gonna do no harm,
If we both have a little old shot in the arm',
And it's all around my veins, oh cocaine...

Doctor tells me again and again,
He says, "Cocaine's forces ain't for men"
Cocaine sure running around my brain...
You know the doctor tells me, tells me again and again
He says, 'Cocaine will kill you son, it won't say when',
Cocaine sure running around my brain...

There's this story about Cocaine Lill,
She had a cocaine house on a cocaine hill.
She had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat,
She even had a cocaine rat.
And it's all around my brain...

Yonder's baby, she's dressed in white,
I said, 'Hey now mama, gonna stay all night,'
Cocaine's sure running around 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 around my brain...

Hey baby, please come quick,
This old cocaine's making me sick,
Cocaine sure running around my brain...

My english teacher played this song for me. This is such a sad song. It's pretty self-explanitory.

It was really touching when he played it..
