Lyrics

Bricked up a kilo Paneled down in the back door All the while I'm riding To auditions I'm not getting Why do I keep on returning to you? All American jawlines One moment going over scene lines Grind the scripts like teeth Why do I keep on returning to you? Cocaine, cocaine Swarm TV cameras Click and stumble at the Chateau Later, I hear John's Body got carried out Ice cream was a code word Told to me by a code man These nice hotels Gotta look, not tell Why do I keep on returning to you? Cocaine, cocaine Cocaine, cocaine Why do I keep on returning to you? Give me some ice cream Give it to me now Oh, now I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool (He's never gonna make it) (He's never gonna make it in LA) I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool Cocaine, cocaine I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool (He's never gonna make it) (He's never gonna make it in L.A.) I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool (He's never gonna make it) Cocaine (He's never gonna make it) Cocaine
