I took cocaine, then it took me I had the life, but never was free Now I look back, what do I see? When I was born, 1953 The monocle life was waiting for me Then I touched the strings, they set me free Like a lamb to the slaughter, like a moth to the flame Money flowing like water, till the end of the game That's when I knew, I had to face my shame Like a lamb to the slaughter, like a moth to the flame Like a lamb to the slaughter, like a moth to the flame Like a lamb to the slaughter, like a moth to the flame So I took cocaine, the one I defend And I pledged allegiance to my powerful friend It promised to see me through thick and thin The day turned to night, and it pulled me in I was her lover, and she was my kin And no one could tell me just how it would end Like a lamb to the slaughter, like a moth to the flame With the birth of a daughter, I remembered my name That's when I knew, I had to face my shame
