lyrics

Put in your eye drops; wipe the white wine off the table
Feel in your pockets, keys ‘n wallet, are you stable?
Put on your shades to hide your gaze from the sun, it’ll melt your face off
I just can’t wait to spend another night between your thighs

You cause the thoughts that heal my brain, you make me so insane
Chemicals react you are my crack, you are my cocaine babe.
Set fire to my thought train, you make me so insane,
Set fire to my thought train, you are my cocaine, babe

Get up before your heart stops beating,
Get on top before the feeling starts fleeting
Before the feeling starts fleeting.

Slide open the blinds, you’ll be on time
Get your feet out on the pavement baby
Crack open another, phone your mother before you go under
Inhale the Mary, slip the Molly, sip the Whisky x4

You cause the thoughts that heal my brain, you make me so insane
Chemicals react you are my crack, you are my cocaine babe.
Set fire to my thought train, you make me so insane,
Set fire to my thought train, you are my cocaine, babe
