High flying, adored so young, the instant queen[00:06:32]
A rich beautiful thing of all the talents[00:06:32]
A cross between a fantasy of the bedroom and a saint[00:06:32]
You were just a backstreet girl[00:06:32]
Hustling and fighting, scratching and biting[00:06:32]
High flying, adored[00:06:32]
Did you believe in your wildest moments[00:06:32]
All this would be yours[00:06:32]
That you'd become the lady of them all?[00:06:32]
Were there stars in your eyes[00:06:32]
When you crawled in at night[00:06:32]
From the bars, from the sidewalks[00:06:32]
From the gutter theatrical[00:06:32]
Don't look down, it's a long, long way to fall[00:06:32]
High flying, adored, what happens now?[00:06:32]
Where do you go from here?[00:06:32]
For someone on top of the world[00:06:32]
The view is not exactly clear[00:06:32]
A shame you did it all at twenty-six[00:06:32]
There are no mysteries now[00:06:32]
Nothing can thrill you, no one fulfill you[00:06:32]
High flying, adored[00:06:32]
I hope you come to terms with boredom[00:06:32]
So famous so easily, so soon[00:06:32]
It's not the wisest thing to be[00:06:32]
You won't care if they love you[00:06:32]
It's been done before[00:06:32]
You'll despair if they hate you[00:06:32]
You'll be drained of all energy[00:06:32]
All the young who've made it would agree[00:06:32]
High flying, adored[00:06:32]
That's good to hear but unimportant[00:06:32]
My story's quite usual[00:06:32]
Local girl makes good, weds famous man[00:06:32]
I was stuck in the right place[00:06:32]
At the perfect time[00:06:32]
Filled a gap, I was lucky[00:06:32]
But one thing I'll say for me[00:06:32]
No one else can fill it like I can[00:06:32]
