Lyrics
She buys a ticket just to keep her hopes alive
She plays a band four times a year, yeah that's alright
She works an office 5 days a week to go out on a friday night.
She's just a single girl waiting and wishing on
Something to do to get her out of this town
You know there's nothing left for her
But Cocaine
You make my heart ache
No way
I'll ever escape
"These days are all the same" she says
"There's nobody left to trust,
All the horses have turned to gambling, Knight's armour's turned to rust"
She hides her eyes behind her hair so no one can see her blue
'Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain' they say to you
Cocaine
You make my heart ache
No way
I'll ever escape
I know
It's not the first time
Now i'm spending all my money on you
I know, I know
