Cardboard Cocaine Lyrics

We're getting high on that cardboard cocaine

Three lines away from fortune and fame

So simple, a baby could play

Easy as 1-2-3

When we're down big, we don't get sore

Don't give up and walk out the door

('cause) all we need is just 20 dollars more

To put us back in the green

Come Friday evenings, I head to the bar

Meet the lady with a mountain of cash

Don't wanna raffle, we're no karaoke stars

Just wanna pull those little golden tabs

We gotta pull 'em through the snow and sleet

When the Alberta Clipper starts to blow

When the temperature takes a leap

Or when it's 20-below

We're getting high on that cardboard cocaine

Three lines away from fortune and fame

So simple, a baby could play

Easy as 1-2-3

When we're down big, we don't get sore

Don't give up and walk out the door

('cause) all we need is just 20 dollars more

To put us back in the green

But every night we think our time is up

A whiff of fortune brings us around

Like all we need is a little luck

When the numbers are down

We'll keep jonesing for a perfect match

Cherries, pine trees, cartoon cars

That 3x3 life is where it's at

On our side of the bar

We're getting high on that cardboard cocaine

Three lines away from fortune and fame

So simple, a baby could play

Easy as 1-2-3

When we're down big, we don't get sore

Don't give up and walk out the door

('cause) all we need is just 20 dollars more

To put us back in the green
