Sing me a sweet song
You used
To think I was grand
Downtown
Chelsea and Soho
I held
The world in my hand
I flew
The Concorde to Paris
Sniffed lines
Of cocaine for free
Champagne
And mangoes for breakfast
Warm nights
And dawns by the sea
OD'ed
In the afternoon
With her diamonds and pearls
And a burnt spoon
Now I'm
A little bit older
And I'm
In need of a friend
I've got
Some pills and some liquor
And soon
I'll see you again
OD'ed... etc.
Honey
What you gonna do
When your beauty and youth
Are behind you?
High life Sing me a sweet song You used To think I was grand Downtown Chelsea and Soho I held The world in my hand I flew The Concorde to Paris Sniffed lines Of cocaine for free Champagne And mangoes for breakfast Warm nights And dawns by the sea OD'ed In the afternoon With her diamonds and pearls And a burnt spoon Now I'm A little bit older And I'm In need of a friend I've got Some pills and some liquor And soon I'll see you again OD'ed... etc. Honey What you gonna do When your beauty and youth Are behind you?
