Elton John - White Lady White Powder lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album 21 at 33<br><br>Dust settles on a thin cloud<br>Sends a fog drifting to a worn out crowd<br>I've had my face in a mirror for twenty four hours<br>Staring at a line of white powder<br><br>High-priced madness pays the tab<br>I've scraped too much of nothing from your plastic bag<br>I'm a catatonic son of a bitch who's had<br>A touch too much of white powder<br><br>And she's a habit I can't handle<br>For a reason I can't say<br>I'm in love with a wild white lady<br>She's as sweet as the stories say<br>White powder white lady<br>You're one and the same<br>Come on down to my house won't you<br>And hit this boy again<br><br>Shock waves to a tired brain<br>Sends that hungry lady to my door again<br>She's my shelter from the storm when I feel the rain<br>Entertaining white powder<br><br>I feel I'm dry-docked and tongue-tied<br>Heaven sends a stretcher for the kids to ride<br>I might just escape while the others might die<br>Riding on a high of white powder
