ode to the industry (cough syrup) Lyrics by Annie LeMasters

Cough Syrup

2024

[Verse 1]
Cough syrup
Cotton candy
Seeping in my lungs
Angel baby, you're a star
Just sign it and we're done
I'm on a call speaking with a real rotten guy
But she and I both need him to survive
I would never trust a man like that with anything at all
Cause he's screaming at the phone
Punching holes in the wall
He's so nice when he's high
I could almost laugh
Money talks, money moves but it never bought class
[Chorus]
We’re talking Hollywood but this is SoFlo
I’d call you a narcissist
But then I'm flying solo
I'm stepping carefully
Walking in stilettos
Cross my heart and burn the bridge
It's all part of the show
[Verse 2]
And all he does is wear your diamond chain and drink your coffee
And all I do is stratеgize on how to make them lovе me
It's easy if you’re pretty and you play your cards right
Soon enough their eyes will start to look like dollar signs
And I won't betray my mother
But they promised me the world so I guess this the moment when the swine meets the pearl
Get a pen grab a sword
Sharpen up the ink
We do everything in dollars it's exactly what you think
[Chorus]
We’re talking Hollywood but this is SoFlo
I’d call you a narcissist
But then I'm flying solo
I'm stepping carefully
Walking in stilettos
Cross my heart and burn the bridge
It's all part of the show
Wish I could sell my soul
So I could be her
She's got this entire city wrapped around her finger
Are you not entertained
I promise soon you will be
Baby this is showbiz
And I'm bruising both my knees
[Chorus]
We’re talking Hollywood but this is SoFlo
I’d call you a narcissist
But then I'm flying solo
I'm stepping carefully
Walking in stilettos
Cross my heart and burn the bridge
It's all part of the show
Wish I could sell my soul
So I could be her
She's got this whole entire city
Wrapped around her finger
Are you not entertained
I promise soon you will be
Baby this is showbiz
And I'm bruising both my knees
