Lyrics
[Verse 1]
14th of June, 1912
I woke up feelin' sprightly
Then I got out of bed, thought, "Mama, you 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 tonight
Made me feel a bit mood-key
Then I stood up straight and proud, I knew I was a man
Thought, "Mama, he done me proud"
[Verse 2]
Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man
We wear friendly smiles all night
Get blooded on Lucifer's grave
Pray it never stop
Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man
[Verse 3]
So a car pulls up and that guy downstairs
I'm wearin' my best trousers, I'm feelin' happy
Sunlight was shinin' down
I'm wearin' Toxsome blue shoes
With a crisp lime jazzer line
Beautiful here, as the day's beautiful too
[Verse 4]
Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man
We wear friendly smiles all night
Get blooded on Lucifer's grave
Pray it never stop
Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man
[Verse 5]
Crash band, I made it out, she's beautiful, she is
She stands alone, not carin' who's lookin'
Her name's Rebecca Trollop and I fall right in her trap
Bang, it's disgusting
[Verse 6]
Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man
We wear friendly smiles all night
Get blooded on Lucifer's grave
Pray it never stop
Here comes the cocaine man
Here comes a man
