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

And 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

its 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 views 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

I've been called names

but there the strangest



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.
