Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Freeze
Rock
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Bass
[Verse 2]
Ooh, white, white
Ooh, white, white
Ooh, white, white
[Verse 3]
(Ooh, white lines) Vision, dreams of passion
(Blowin' through my mind) And all the while, I think of you
(High price) A very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) The more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby
(Tellin' your body to come along)
(But white lines blow away)
[Verse 4]
Blow, rock it, blow
[Verse 5]
Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound, costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose, or through your vein
With nothin' to gain except killin' your brain
[Verse 6]
Freeze, rock, freeze, rock, freeze, rock, freeze, rock
Blow
[Verse 7]
Ah (Higher, baby)
Ah (Get higher, baby)
Ah (Get higher, baby)
Ah (And don't ever come down)
Freebase
[Verse 8]
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Diggedy dang di-dang, diggedy dang di-dang
(Pipeline) Pure as the driven snow
(Connected to my mind) And now I'm having fun, baby
(High price) It's gettin' kind of low
('Cause it makes you feel so nice) I need some one on one, baby
(Don't let it blow you mind away) Baby
(And go into your little hideaway)
('Cause white lines blow away)
[Verse 9]
Blow, rock it, blow
[Verse 10]
A million magic crystals painted pure and white
A multi-million dollars almost overnight
Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked, baby, it's nobody else's fault, so don't do it
[Verse 11]
Freeze, rock, freeze, rock, freeze, rock, freeze, rock
Rah (Blow)
[Verse 12]
Ah (Higher, baby)
Ah (Get higher, baby)
Ah (Get higher, baby)
And don't even come down (Freebase)
[Verse 13]
(Don't you get too high) Don't you get too high, baby
(Turns you on) You really turn me on and on
('Cause you gonna come down) My temperature is rising
(When the thrill is gone) No, I don't want you to go
A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught with 24 kilos
He's out on bail and out of jail and thats the way it goes, rah
[Verse 14]
Cane, sugar, cane, sugar, cane
[Verse 15]
Athletes rejected, Governors corrected
Gangsters, thugs and smugglers are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided
The women get excited
Now I'm broke and it's no joke
It's hard as hell to fight it, don't buy it
[Verse 16]
Freeze, rock, freeze, rock, freeze, rock, freeze, rock
Rah (Blow)
[Verse 17]
Ah (Get higher, baby)
Ah (Get higher, girl)
Ah (Get higher, baby)
Ah (Come on, rah)
[Verse 18]
(White lines) Vision, dreams of passion
(Blowin' through my mind) And all the while, I think of you
(High price) A very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) The more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby
(Tellin' your body to come along)
(But white lines blow away)
[Verse 19]
Little Jack Horner, sitting on the corner
With no shoes and clothes
This ain't funny, but he took his money
And sniffed it up his nose
[Verse 20]
Freeze, rock, freeze, rock, freeze, rock, freeze, rock...
