Coming down again, coming down again
Coming down again, coming down again
Share your thoughts, there’s nothing you can hide
She was dying to survive
I was caught, oh, taken for a ride
She was showing no surprise
Coming down again, coming down again
Where are all my friends, coming down again
Coming down again, coming down again
On the ground again, coming down again
Slipped my tongue in someone else’s pie
Tasting better ev’ry time
She turned green and tried to make me cry
Being hungry it ain’t no crime
Coming down again, coming down again
All my time’s been spent, coming down again
