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
