In Land of Cockaigne
'Cockaine' took another slow snort from magic white crystal dust
pleasure inhaled at ease and great vastness for her was a must
with 'Cockaigne' the land of physical comfort and luxury near
nothing to lose in addiction she had no more demons to fear
they called her a **** on cocaine an outcast and street trash
but when on the drug of her choice she cherished the bash
threw caution to wind as long as it did not disperse the powder
when trashed everything became brighter lighter and louder
as a kind soul she shared her treasures with Charlie and Mandy
freebase for all gak sugar coke and vast mountains of rock candy
when she ran out of gear her smashed fellows returned the favour
good friendship is a treasure to hold very dear and to savour
she ran out of money and companions because they’re all dead
sold her body for a few bob to Dick Tom and Harry giving head
blew instead of inhaling and soon she took to needle and syringe
believed she was happy when she overdosed and went out in a binge
