Sister Cocaine by The BeWells

Life had left me low on luck, lost and alone
Another motherless child with no place to call home
That old brick alley in the back of a buick bundled up and blue
Stumbled on salvation, she was my only truth

Through the stained windows and darkened doors
There drifted strains of some strange old chorus
Flickering faces frozen faintly framed by a fading fire
Found brother Jones and I joined that bowery choir

That moment was meant for me must have been divinely fated
As she slowly lilted in light softly illuminated
Slinking from the shadows sashaying sweetly side to side
Swathed in a sensuous sultry smile she had no shame to hide

She hooked me hard and held on tight
Hit me high it was hopeless to fight
Finally home and free from the pain
Think I'll stay awhile with sister cocaine

My sister cocaine

I come to her and she prays for me
White as snow we are washed clean
An apostate prostrate at the alter again
Crying out for comfort and care
Sister cocaine, my sister cocaine
Sister cocaine, my sister cocaine
