VERSE 1.
Down the snow line
The rail is clear and clean
Let your wheels flow
From the cold to the sand
The reins lay in my hand
Let your wheels roll

CHORUS
Cocaine
Cocaine
Eat way my brain
Cocaine
Cocaine
The snow line isn't tame
Cocaine
Cocaine
Such sweet pain

BRIDGE
The Indians of South America
Ate the cocaine leaf
Workers built their temples there
They rode the cocaine reef
Festive tributes did occur
To praise the special strength
The cocaine reef is jagged
But a sight to be seen

REPRISE
Nose down to the snow line
Or a mouth full of stone
Nose down to the snow line
Or a mouth full of stone

CHORUS - Repeat
Cocaine
Cocaine
Eat way my brain
Cocaine
Cocaine
The snow line isn't tame
Cocaine
Cocaine
Such sweet sweets

Song starts on a good note, giving that Concaineish feeling

I like the tone of the vocals. The percussion also adds some really nice touches to the vibe. There's no doubt there is some talented song writing going on here. Reminds me a bit of Harmonium.

Great song! Excellent recording quality and production. Very professional performances by the musicians and vocalist

Great song. Has a Stephen Stills vibe.

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL---great all the way around!--i don't know why cocaine songs always seem to be good songs--ha!--i guess i gotta go figure--i haven't done any for about 28 years now--maybe longer--good thing for me and the general public at large!--cheers--joe.
