willi carlisle – cheap cocaine lyrics
eight miles out of galesburg, i’m starin’ at the rain
eight+ball left of the cheap cocaine
and i’m lookin’ at the sunlight, light through the pines:
couldn’t tell ya what it is, but it’s always been mine
now that i’m gone i think of the man
with a meth pipe clutched in his bone+thin hand
i said, hey brother, i hope you get straight
but i bet i don’t meet him at the pearly gates
and i sing: hey mamma i been starin’ at the rain
a little heartbreak, a little soul pain
i been up all night on the cheap cocaine
tryna make it better but it’s always the same
well i made a few new friends in a rockford bar
i told ’em all lies, i said i was in charge
of the afterparty, where the women were loose
i partied with the metalheads with gin and juice
hung over as h+ll, i slept in sh+t on the lawn
i’m tired of twenty+somethins and their punkrock songs
wake up in the mornin’ and stumble towards the down
sayin’ ‘how ya doin, boy, it’s been too long.”
and i sing: hey mamma i been starin’ at the rain
a little heartbreak, a little soul pain
i been up all night on the cheap cocaine
tryna make it better but it’s always the same
on the streets of chicago with sidekick sally
i was hittin’ up the bars on v++gr+ alley
where the men pick up women not half their age
all i had for them was my tears and my rage
and i thought it was a fight, so i went for my knife
and the man shook my hand with his kids and his wife
i was so ashamed that i hung back and cried
leave all that to saint peter, wait till i die
and i sing: hey mamma i been starin’ at the rain
a little heartbreak, a little soul pain
i been up all night on the cheap cocaine
tryna make it better but it’s always the same
