I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down  
Went right home and I went to bed  
I stuck that lovin’ .44 beneath my head

You stole mine!

“A knife, a fork, a bottle, and a cork…”  
This maddness  
Is sweeter than cocaine  
takes control of my brain

**Lords of Acid - Take Control**  
I smell your sweat on my skin  
Breakfast in Vegas on cocaine and gin

**Praga Kahn - Breakfast in Vegas**  
Were the friends weighed for me  
the white fairy stretches her bow  
she shoots into the face of my worries  
and on the two halves breaks  
the father of all mirrors

**Rammstein - Cocaine (translated)**

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.

J.J. Cale
