[Intro: Melle Mel]
Bass!

[Chorus: Julie Dexter & Melle Mel]
White lines
(Visions, dreams of passion)
Blowing through my mind
(And all the while I think of you)
High price
(A very strange reaction)
For us to unwind
(The more I see, the more I do)
Something like a phenomenon
Telling your body to come along
But white lines
Blow away (Baby)

[Verse 1: Melle Mel]
Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound-for-pound, costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothing to gain except killing your brain
[Pre-Chorus: Melle Mel]
Higher, baby
Gеt higher, baby
Get higher, baby
And don't еver come down!

[Chorus: Julie Dexter & Melle Mel]
Pipeline
Pure as the driven snow
Connected to my mind
And now I'm having fun, baby
High price
It's getting kinda low
Makes you feel so nice
I need some one-on-one, baby
Don't let it blow your mind away
Go into your little hideaway
White lines
Blow away

[Verse 2: Melle Mel]
A million magic crystals
Painted pure and white
A multi-million dollars
Almost overnight
Twice as sweet as sugar
Twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked, baby
It's nobody else's fault, so don't do it!
[Pre-Chorus: Melle Mel]
Higher, baby
Get higher, baby
Get higher, baby
And don't ever come down!

[Chorus: Julie Dexter & Melle Mel]
Don't you get too high
(Don't you get too high, baby)
Turns you on
(You really turn me on and on)
'Cause you gotta come down
(My temperature is risin')
When the thrill is gone
(No, I don't want you to go)

[Verse 3: Melle Mel]
A street kid gets arrested
Gonna do some time
He got out three years from now
Just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught
With twenty four kilos
He's out on bail and out of jail
And that’s the way it goes, rah
Athletes rejected
Governors corrected
Gangsters, thugs and smugglers
Are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided
The women get excited
Now I'm broke, and it's no joke
It's hard as hell to fight it, don't buy it!
[Chorus: Julie Dexter & Melle Mel]
White lines
(Visions, dreams of passion)
Blowing through my mind
(And all the while I think of you)
High price
(A very strange reaction)
For us to unwind
(The more I see, the more I do)
Something like a phenomenon
Telling your body to come along
But white lines
Blow away

[Verse 4: Melle Mel]
Little Jack Horner sitting on the corner
With no shoes and clothes
This ain't funny, but he took his money
And sniffed it up his nose, rah

[Outro]
"Got— got— got it"
"Got— got it"
