High flying, adored So young, the instant queen A rich, beautiful thing Of all the talents A cross between A fantasy of the bedroom And a saint You were just a backstreet girl Hustling and fighting Scratching and biting High flying, adored Did you believe in your wildest moments All this would be yours? That you'd become The lady of them all? Were there stars in your eyes When you crawled in at night? From the bars, from the sidewalks From the gutter theatrical Don't look down It's a long, long way to fall High flying, adored What happens now? Where do you go from here? For someone on top of the world The view is not exactly clear A shame you did it all At twenty-six There are no mysteries now Nothing can thrill you No one fulfill you High flying, adored I hope you come To terms with boredom So famous, so easily So soon It's not the wisest thing to be You won't care if they love you It's been done before You'll despair if they hate you You'll be drained of all energy All the young who've made it Would agree High flying, adored That's good to hear But unimportant My story's quite usual Local girl Makes good, weds famous man I was stuck in the right place At the perfect time Filled a gap I was lucky But one thing I'll say for me No one else can fill it Like I can

Tell me before I waltz out of your life Before turning my back on the past Forgive my impertinent behavior But how long do you think this pantomime can last? Tell me before I ride off in the sunset There's one thing I never got clear How can you claim you're our savior When those who oppose you are stepped on, or cut up Or simply disappear? Tell me before you get onto your bus Before joining the forgotten brigade How can one person, like me, say Alter the time-honored way the game is played? Tell me before you get onto your high horse Just what you expect me to do? I don't care what the bourgeoisie say I'm not in business for them But to give all my descamisado's A magical moment or two There is evil ever around Fundamental system of government Quite incidental So what are my chances of honest advances? I'd say low Better to win by admitting my sin Than to lose with a halo Tell me before I seek worthier pastures And thereby restore self-esteem How can you be so short-sighted To look never further than this week or next week To have no impossible dream? Allow me to help you slink off to the sidelines And mark your adieu with three cheers But first, tell me who'd be delighted If I said I'd take on the world's greatest problems From war to pollution, no hope of solution Even If I lived for one hundred years There is evil ever around Fundamental system of government Quite incidental So go, if you're able To somewhere unstable and stay there! Whip up your hate in some tattering state But not here, dear Is that clear, dear? Ohh, what I'd give for a hundred years But the physical interferes Every day more Oh, my creator What is the good Of the strongest heart In a body that's falling apart? A serious flaw I hope you know that
