lyrics

I'm so strung out I cannot sleep
I crack my neck and grind my teeth
I'm starving but I cannot eat
And my mood is growing sour.

I'm so stressed out I can hardly breathe
I'm tired and I can't believe
I'm still awake I need relief
Or at least some cocaine powder.

Hit the gas, kick up a gear
Is anyone else awake in here?
My mind has never felt so clear
and never so empowered.
Well alcohol is so widespread
Marijuana dulls my head
I never wanna go to bed
Gimme cocaine powder, La da da....

A key bump in the bathroom stall
A little line or a whole eight-ball
It's all cut with children's Tylenol
It all tastes like gasoline and flowers.

I know it's hard to understand
I'm more a monster, now, than a man
I almost joined the Ku Klux Klan
I thought they said 'White Powder'.

Hit the gas, kick up a gear
Is anyone else awake in here?
My mind has never felt so clear
And never so empowered.

Alcohol is such a drag
Marijuana is a waste of bags
I always find I wish I'd had
some fucking cocaine powder, La da da

Another hour passed me by
I'm as low, now, as I just was high
Seven sleepless nights make one weak mind, and, god, I need a shower.

I'm so ashamed of what I've done
I have insufflated all my funds
Twenty Twenties through a rolled up One, filled with cocaine powder, La da da...

The Peoples Blues of Richmond Richmond, Virginia

People's Blues of Richmond brings a carnival-like mayhem to their dark, blues-infused psychedelia. Their new album, Good Time Suicide, is a study in excess, brimming with ballads of drugs, vice and murder that sonically recall early Led Zeppelin, only weirder and with a modern sheen. ... more
