She Has to Come Down

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
 'Cos 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
 'Cos 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
 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
