Cocaine
Moon Fever Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bright lights
Big city
Dirty dog
Nitty gritty
On top again
Rhinestone snakeskin
I′m high up above the walls
Nothing's bringing me down
Burning like a Molotov
There′s only one way to go
When you're a bad motherfucker
And you're ready to blow

Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

White lines
Limousines
I ain′t worried about a single thing
Loaded gun
Bang bang
I′ll blow into your city like a hurricane

Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

All I want is more
Don't wanna come down not ever
Why can′t this all last forever
Yeah!

Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)




Cocaine
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
