identify this song: google has failed me

[Xede]

Heard an interesting song on XM radio (XMU channel 43) earlier. I wrote down a few fragments of the lyrics in the car, but Google has failed to find any matches.

Here are the lyric fragments I have:

there is a city by the sea
oligarch
Los Angeles
the dollar and decay
cocaine
it only makes me cranky

Does anyone recognize this song?

just the "cocaine" part....Cocaine by Eric Clapton would be my wild guess.

cocaine by eric clapton goes nothing like that.

You would think that with oligarch in the lyrics, googling for the song would be a piece of cake.

I guess since that station plays underground type stuff, the lyrics just don't make it onto those lyric sites.

The lyrics I have are unique enough that you'd think it would be easy to find. I've tried different subsets of those pieces but still can't find anything. I'm hoping somebody on here will just recognize the song.
