Cocaine

Track A5
 
[Verse 1] You take Sally and I'll take Sue There ain't no difference between the two Cocaine, running all 'round my brain [Verse 2] Headin' down Scott, turnin' up Main Looking for that girl who sells cocaine Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain [Bridge] Mmm momma come here quick That old cocaine 'bout to make me sick Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain [Verse 3] Late last night about a quarter past four Ladanyi come knockin' down my hotel room door Where's the cocaine? Said it's runnin' all 'round my brain [Verse 4] I was talking to my doctor down at the hospital (What'd he say?) He said, "Son, it says here you're twenty-seven But that's impossible Cocaine, you look like you could be forty-five" [Verse 5] Now I'm losing touch with reality and I'm almost out of blow It's such a fine line I hate to see it go Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain [Outro: Jackson Browne, Band Member & David Lindley] Blood on the highway.  Gotta take either more of it or less of it. I can't quite figure out which one.  Well, I tell ya what it does take. It takes a clear mind is what it takes.  You mean it takes a clear mind to take it or a clear mind not to take it? It takes a clear mind to make it.
