Flamboyant dance-music artist Lady Gaga grew up taking drugs like any other impressionable teenager.

In the soon-to-be-published bio, Lady Gaga: Just Dance, by Helia Phoenix, Gaga says, "I wanted to be the artists I loved, like Mick Jagger and Andy Warhol - and I thought the only way to do it was to live the lifestyle. My cocaine soundtrack was always the Cure. I would lock myself in my room and listen to 'Never Enough' on repeat while I did bags and bags of cocaine.

"It was about being an artist. I wasn't a lazy addict. I would make demo tapes and send them around. At the time I didn't think there was anything wrong with me, until my friends said, 'Are you doing this alone?' Um, yes. Me and my mirror."

This is not exactly news. Last year, the New York native told the tabs:

"My cocaine soundtrack was the Cure. I loved all their music, but I listened to one song on repeat while I did bags and bags of cocaine. I didn't think there was anything wrong with me until my friends came over and said, 'Are you doing this alone?' Um, yes. Me and my mirror. But I was able to stop, because I was panicking more on the drugs than I was sober. I'm fine now."

But at least now we know the song that helped turn Gaga on.

Gaga (nee Stefani Germanotta) has said her song "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich" is "about how on [New York's] Lower East Side, there were a lot of rich kids who did drugs and said that they were poor artists, so it's also a knock at that. 'Daddy I'm so sorry, I'm so, so sorry, yes, we just like to party.' I used to hear my friends on the phone with their parents, asking for money before they would go buy drugs. I was doing a lot of drugs when I wrote 'Dirty, Rich.'"

"Sometimes drugs can be like a creative journey," Gaga adds. "And I've done it. Some stuff's really amazing. But it also can totally ruin like your whole life and can take over you, so I would never encourage anybody to go on that kind of creative journey. It's really a personal choice."

Also in the book, Gaga discusses the time she took LSD and thought she met Radiohead's Thom Yorke .
