She was that one in a million
She was the carousel queen
With each revolution
She forgot where she'd been
And she must have been dizzy
Spinning out of her head
Mistook you for Prince Charming
She even took you to bed
And it's so easy to see it now
If you know the name of the game
It was the cocaine walking
It was the booze talking
And you showed her your thistle
Your military tattoo
Up there on your shoulder
Sledgehammer of a clue
And you'd joke in hieroglyphics
Send postcards in Greek
One line of Shakespeare
And she's yours for the week
And it's so easy to see it now
If you know the name of the game
It was the cocaine walking
It was the booze talking
It was the cocaine walking
It was the booze talking
And who'll win the battle
Before the nurse pulls the plug?
The Kings Road hippie
Or the Sauchiehall thug?
And you smile at the mirror
Just like you always do
Give a wink, tilt the head
To that saucy old you
Oh, and it's so easy to see it now
If you know the name of the game
It was the cocaine walking
It was the booze talking
It was the cocaine walking
It was the booze talking
