A sad-eyed lady wanders alone in the crowd With drunkards and dreamers and lovers and dealers and clowns Some kind of angel with that faraway look in her eyes No sign of danger cause she knows where to go get high
Strangers stare as she staggers and stumbles and falls And her Indian hair covers her face as she crawls No one can save her when she's flyin' so close to the ground No one can blame her cause her time is about to run out
And she has to come down She has to come down And she has to come down Down, down
Her body's broke but it's soft like the light in her eyes And her poisonous heart beats with the blood of a child Nobody knows her as she slips in and out of the dark The night isn't over but she's already drifted too far
And she has to come down She has to come down She has to come down down down down She has to come down down down down down
Livin' is easy, she knows what she needs to survive So she goes on believin', keepin' a faith that's gone blind
She has to come down down down down Down down down down She has to come down down down down Down down down down down
