Popular Music About Cocaine.


Cocaine In Song.

Literally, I hate cocaine, I would never in a million years advise that anyone ever start using cocaine for any reason at all. Cocaine, however, has inspired many a musician to song, and this is a hub about musicinspired by cocaine. Typically, these are songs of wreckage, and disaster, and this is fitting, in my estimation, for the drug is very disastrous for many a user.
If you are hooked on cocaine, and need out, then I suggest Narcotics Anonymous, if ideas of God, or Gods are not to your suiting, then best of luck to you, maybe Aleister Crowley's ideas will work for you, as laid out in his wonderful book, Diary of a Drug Fiend. But be careful with the occult, my friend, and also you should know that Crowley died a drug addict, and of course, Crowley was no atheist.
If you are not having problems with your drug use, then kindly disregard my suggestions; this author is damn sure nobody to judge you for your drug use. Thanks.

Johnny Cash, Cocaine Blues

Cocaine Blues Lyrics

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head

Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I run too slow they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico

Late in the hot joints takin' the pills in walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down
Said yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee if you've got the warrant just aread it to me
Shot her down because she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail they slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail

Early next mornin' bout a half past nine I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Talked and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court
Into the courtroom my trial began where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out I saw the little judge commence to look about

In about five minutes in walked the man holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree I hollered Lordy Lordy have a mercy on me

The judge he smiled as he picked up his pin 99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on you've gotta listen unto me lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be

Cocaine Can Not Kill My Pain, by Steve Earl.

Cocaine Can Not Kill My Pain, Steve Earl Lyrics

Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Like a freight train through my vein
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Whiskey got no hold on me
Left them chains in tennessee
Whiskey got no hold on me
Don't come knockin' on my door
Even that won't work no more
Don't come knockin' on my door
Heroin is the only thing
The only gift the darkness brings
Heroin is the only thing
Guess you'd best leave me alone
At least until these blues have gone
Guess you'd best leave me alone

Black Sabbath, Snowblind

Black Sabbath, Snowblind Lyrics

What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles are in my brain
(cocaine)

Something blowing in my hair
Winter's ice, it soon was dead
Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold

My eyes are blind, but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there's no place freezing me

Let the winter sunshine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams with flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling go

Don't you think I know what I'm doing
Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
You're the one who's really a loser
This is where I feel I belong

Crystal world with winter flowers
Turn my days to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?

Led Zeppelin, For Your Life

Led Zeppelin, For Your Life Lyrics.


Well, well, oh, hoh, hoh
You said I was the only, with my lemon in your hand
Uh-oh, uh-oh-hoh
Exhibition is your habit, emotion second-hand
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Had to pull away to save me
Well, maybe next time around-a, oh

And she said
"Don'tcha want, a-don'tcha want go get, go get cocaine"
Hadn't planned to, could not stand'a try it, fry it, ow
Now, now, now, now, yeah

Wooo-oooh-oooh-oooh-ooh-ooh
Heard a cry for mercy, uh, in the city of the damned-a
Uh-oh, baby, damned
In the pits you go no lower, the next stop's underground
A-ho, how low underground
You wanna know, is it quite over
To fame it deals a losin' hand

And I said, "Didn't mean to, did not a-mean to fluff it
You didn't plan it, you overran it, aah-ha-ha-how, yeah"

Do you wanna, do you want, do ya, d-do
Do you, would you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you, d-do
Do it when you wanna

When you blow it, babe, you got to blow it right
Baby, if you fake it, mama, baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama

When ya fa-fa-fa-fake it, baby
You're fakin' it for your life, for your life

Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Do you, would you wanna
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Do it when you wanna

Oh, like to help ya, baby
but I don't know what to do-ooh-ooh, yeah
Sometime, baby
Nothin' I can do-ooh-ooh, yeah

With the fine lines of the crystal payin' through your nose
And when they couldn't resist ya
I said, "Just go with the flow"
And now your stage is empty
Pull down the curtain, baby, please
Fold up your show

Hadn't planned to, could not stand to fry in it
I hadn't planned it, I overran it
Fry it for your life, for your life

Buckcherry, Lit Up.

Buckcherry, Lit Up Lyrics


"Lit Up"

Oh yeah
Ya wanna find it
Come on yeah

I'm on a plane, with cocaine
And yes I'm all lit up again
Cough up love, and touch up
Your mama said packing lines is sin

And yes I'm all lit up again
On the couch, in my bed
And yes I'm all, lit up again, flying
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine
Mama can you wait, mama can you wait, yeah

I'm on a train, and ride on
You know the train is staying off the track
I'm in touch love, from this crutch
Well you're on ten, but honey I'm on eleven

And yes I'm all lit up again
On the couch, in my bed
And yes I'm all, lit up again, flying
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine
Mama can you wait, mama can you wait
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine
Mama can you wait, oh can you wait long?

Well crack the door for the curious girl cause she's been waiting, she's been waiting
Chop a line for the fiending man 'cause he wants one
You know, you know you got to, can you feel it can you feel it tonight, are you high love, tell me are you fucking high?
In the moment you are just so right
You're right love, are you right love?

And yes I'm all lit up again
On the couch, in my bed
And yes I'm all, lit up again, flying
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine
Mama can you wait, mama can you wait
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine
Mama can you wait, oh can you wait long?

Oh yeah
Don't wanna fight that
Alright, yeah
Yeah

Casey Jones, The Grateful Dead

Grateful Dead Lyrics, Casey Jones


Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones YOU BETTER, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

This old engine makes it on time,
Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine,
Hits River Junction at seventeen TO,
At a quarter to ten you know it's DRIVIN' again.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones YOU BETTER, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Trouble ahead, Lady in red,
Take my advice you'd be better off dead.
Switchman's sleeping, train hundred and two is
On the wrong track and headed for you.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones YOU BETTER, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, YOU KNOW, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
Got two good eyes but WE still don't see.
Come round the bend, you know it's the end,
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams...

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones YOU BETTER, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones YOU BETTER, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones you better watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, you know, trouble behind.
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones you better watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, you know, trouble behind.
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

J.J. Cale, Cocaine

Eric Clapton, Cocaine!

J.J. Cale's Cocaine, Lyrics

If you want to hang out
You gotta take her out
Cocaine.
If you want to get down
Down on the ground
Cocaine.
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie
Cocaine.

If you got bad news
You want to kick them blues
Cocaine.
When your day is done and you got to run
Cocaine.
She don't lied
She don't lie
She don't lie
Cocaine.

If your thing is gone and you want to ride on
Cocaine.
Don't forget this fact
You can't get back
Cocaine.
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie
Cocaine.
A hundred magic finger is whirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe

Danzig Twist of Cain

Editor's note:  This song, tis easy to see, has dual meanings, as it refers to the Cain vs. Able allegory, and cocaine.
Yea, yea, yea
Ooh
I can feel it move me
Feel it shove me
As I break the law
Said yea
I can feel it's jabbing
Cuts the numbness then I
I come alive

Twist of Cain
Yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
'Cause it does

Yea twist of Cain
yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive

Said yea
I took it standing
Broke commandments
And he tumbled like a toy
Blood
Like a crimson highway
Spreading out
From his forehead to the ground

Twist of Cain
Yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
'Cause it does

Yea twist of Cain
Yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
Wo-oh, yea

Wo-oh God above
Feel a twist of Cain
Inside a beating heart, well
Wo-oh
Wanna know
Got a little twist of Cain
From the God below, yea

Yae
I know my breeding
Know my father
He was born of light
Said yea
Can't hardly stand it
Cuts me down the middle
Then I
I come alive yea

Twist of Cain
Yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
'Cause it does

Yea twist of Cain
yea drives my brain
Yea twist of Cain
Make me come alive
Come alive
Wo-oh, yea

Wo-oh
God above
Feel a twist of Cain
Inside a beating heart, yea
Wo-oh
Wanna know
Got a little twist of Cain
From the God below

Wo-oh, wo-oh
Feel a twist of Cain
Inside a beating heart
Wo-oh, wo-oh
Got a little twist of Cain
From the God below, yea
