[Ché:] | |
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 don't care if they love you | |
It's been done before | |
You 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 |
