Lyrics

[00:14.057] High flying, adored
[00:16.774] So young, the instant queen
[00:21.338] A rich beautiful thing,
[00:23.797] Of all the talents
[00:26.410] A cross between a fantasy of the bedroom and a saint
[00:34.478] You were just a backstreet girl
[00:37.973] Hustling and fighting,
[00:39.795] Scratching and biting
[00:42.953] High flying, adored
[00:46.157] Did you believe in your wildest moments
[00:49.896] All this would be yours
[00:52.833] That you'd become the lady of them all?
[00:58.034] Were there stars in your eyes
[01:00.890] When you crawled in at night
[01:03.977] From the bars, from the sidewalks
[01:07.693] From the gutter theatrical
[01:10.909] Don't look down, it's a long, long way to fall
[01:20.977] High flying, adored
[01:24.286] What happens now,
[01:26.167] Where do you go from here?
[01:28.641] For someone on top of the world
[01:31.623] The view is not exactly clear
[01:35.036] A shame you did it all at twenty-six
[01:38.960] There are no mysteries now
[01:45.520] Nothing can thrill you,
[01:47.157] No one fulfill you
[01:50.419] High flying, adored
[01:53.136] I hope you come to terms with boredom
[01:56.816] So famous so easily,
[01:59.823] So soon
[02:01.715] It's not the wisest thing to be
[02:05.198] You won't care if they love you
[02:07.705] It's been done before
[02:11.397] You'll despair if they hate you
[02:14.555] You'll be drained of all energy
[02:17.801] All the young who've made it would agree
[02:33.736] High flying, adored
[02:37.811] Did you believe in your wildest moments
[02:42.036] All this would be yours
[02:44.231] And found that you've become the lady of them all?
[02:51.277] Were there stars in your eyes
[02:54.377] When you crawled in at night
[02:57.814] From the bars, from the sidewalks
[03:00.914] From the gutter theatrical
[03:04.849] Don't look down, it's a long, long way to fall
[03:11.675] Don't look down, it's a long, long way to fall
