"Cocaine And Abel" lyrics - THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT
"Cocaine And Abel"

And the second time
You asked me to do the line
You offer it so graciously
So I think, what harm could befall me

Are you sure that this won't last?
Like other stuff that sure works fast
It's like opening a vein
And bleeding out my brain, brain, brain

I love you too
But I really love your shoes
You look stunning decked in red
Wait, what was it that I said?

And we were happy to be alive
Are you frightened some day you'll die?
Are you sharp, are you dull?
Are you that tiny sober dot
At the center of my fevered skull?
Oh, no

When the conversation ends
What happens when the conversation ends?
Oh, tell me when the conversation ends
Oh, please don't let this conversation ends

Do you like to read, do you like to ski?
Do you like Kurt Vonnegut, do you like me?
Do you always quote Dostoevsky?
Or only when you snort a key, key, key?

I feel so sick
Please don't tell me this is it
And you gave me such a fright
And let's dance like ghosts
Let's haunt ourselves tonight
