White Carpet

about

A song about cocaine. Oh, that old story.

lyrics

glad handed by the sad cats
the streets have testified
paid out in laid out greenery
white lightning's by your side
You're stunned by falling offers
you're welling up with fears
these magic-potion ponies
are reeling in your years

white powder kegs - silver golden legs
& carpet baggers & chronicle bones
midnight laces - oh with those shrinking faces
in veils of fog machine - you know they're so far from home

white carpet calls to slumber
white carpet pulls you in
white carpet shows the stains
and the white carpet it hides the sin
so lay down and feel it softly
rest easy in the room of spin because
the white carpet buries burdens
& the white powder blends right in

let's go swimming in white carpet
let's go float on the white tide
let us drown in bright white oceans
take a long white carpet ride
let's go swimming in white carpet
let's go float on the white tide
let us drown in bright white oceans
take a long white carpet ride
