Lyrics Cocaine and Ashes - Son Volt

Cocaine and Ashes

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
