She has touched the flickering fame
To find out if her hand gets burned
'Cos she knows when you feel alive
You feel the pain of lessons learned
No motive for the crime
Of idly killing time
And injuring eternity
She's putting the poison in
She's swallowing sin because I let her
She's putting the poison in
She's swallowing sin because I let her
Put the poison in
She has stayed awake all night
Just waiting for the pain to end
'Cos she knows when you're down and out
That's when you'll find your real friends
And when you find you're coming down, down, down
That's when you'll taste the bitter cup
And when you find you're coming down, down, down
You'll wonder why you wanted up
