Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bricked up a kilo, panelled down in the back door
All the while I'm riding to auditions I'm not getting
[Verse 2]
Why do I keep on returning to you?
[Verse 3]
All-American jawlines, one room going over same lines
Grind the script like teeth
[Verse 4]
Why do I keep on returning to you, cocaine?
Cocaine
[Verse 5]
Swarm of TV cameras click and stumble at the Chateau
Later I hear John's body got carried out
"Ice cream" was the codeword told to me by a cold man
These nice hotels, gotta know your clientele
[Verse 6]
Why do I keep on returning to you?
(Cocaine) Cocaine
(Cocaine) Cocaine
[Verse 7]
Why do I keep on returning to you?
(Gimme some ice cream
Give it to me now, mama, now)
[Verse 8]
Oh, I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool
(He's never gonna make it
He's never gonna make it in L.A.)
[Verse 9]
Oh, I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool
Cocaine
Cocaine
[Verse 10]
I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool
(He's never gonna make it
He's never gonna make it in L.A.)
[Verse 11]
I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool
(He's never gonna make it)
Cocaine
(He's never gonna make it)
Cocaine
