High Life

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 coc*ine 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

In the afternoon

With her diamonds and pearls

And a burnt spoon

Honey

What you gonna do

When your beauty and youth

Are behind you
