Cocaine and Ashes - Son Volt

I’ve had strychnine, I thought I was dead

I snorted my father and I’m still alive

I did it because that’s how it is done

I’m the same as everyone, just kinda lucky

Body and soul, cocaine and ashes

We’ll get to that place in time

Just tears and blow on my mind

It’s no to way of life but I’ve tried everything once

I have no pretensions of immortality

But I’ve been told I had 6 months to live

But I’ve outlasted them all

Body and soul, cocaine and ashes

We’ll get to that place in time

Just tears and blow on my mind

Senses and spirit, mourning and misery

Addiction is something I should know something about

Whatever gets done I know that I’ll be blamed

But they say the king is the man who can

Body and soul, cocaine and ashes

We’ll get to that place in time

Just tears and blow on my mind

Body and soul, cocaine and ashes

We’ll get to that place in time

Just tears and blow on my mind

Body and soul, cocaine and ashes

We’ll get to that place in time

Just tears and blow on my mind
