Elton John - White Lady White Powder Lyrics






Dust settles on a thin cloud
Sends a fog drifting to a worn out crowd
I've had my face in a mirror for twenty four hours
Staring at a line of white powder

High-priced madness pays the tab
I've scraped too much of nothing from your plastic bag
I'm a catatonic son of a bitch who's had
A touch too much of white powder

And she's a habit I can't handle
For a reason I can't say
I'm in love with a wild white lady
She's as sweet as the stories say
White powder white lady
You're one and the same
Come on down to my house won't you
And hit this boy again

Shock waves to a tired brain
Sends that hungry lady to my door again
She's my shelter from the storm when I feel the rain
Entertaining white powder

I feel I'm dry-docked and tongue-tied
Heaven sends a stretcher for the kids to ride
I might just escape while the others might die
Riding on a high of white powder

Elton John White Lady White Powder Comments
  1. S.... C....

    Someone needed to buy him a metronome, I can feel the coke speeding it all along.

  2. G.... P....

    No comment.

  3. p.... ....

    Especially written by Bernie for him 😄

  4. C.... S....

    He does mention this song in his book. He thought it was a bit of a “pointed” lyric from Bernie. And he said he then had the “brass balls” to sing it as though it was about someone else!

  5. R.... R....

    Don't take much to guess what the song is about. I have been there years ago. Thankfully Elton survived

  6. J.... A....

    Que cancion tan alegre y energica. Esta buenisima. No la conocia. Deberia cantarla en los actuales conciertos.

  7. T.... C....

    21 at 33, a very underrated album.

    T.... C....

    It really is. Granted it did have some massive hits from it (Little Jeannie being the biggest), there are criminally underrated songs on it like Dear God, Chasing the Crown, and Never Gonna Fall In Love Again. It's really sad how there are so many songs that never really get played at his shows anymore.

  8. L.... R....

    I can not get enough of watching this show! A lot of energy...

  9. L.... M....

    Is there a full video if the concert anyone?

  10. C.... M....

    Lol when he touches his nose at the end!!!

    C.... M....

    That is truly amazing. It seems completely unintentional....but seriously, I listen to this song every time I do coke.

    C.... M....

    Yeah, he had a 'snort' cocaine addiction.

  11. M.... d....

    The eagles did the harmonies....

  12. B.... J....

    Yes, a really good song, not heard very often. A track from the 21 at 33 album.
