I saw you last night
My, my, how indiscreet
Your self-destruction is so complete

And I know
Yeah I know
That she's goin' down slow


It was this morning that you phoned
You sound strung out, babe, but so high toned

And I know
Yeah I know
That she's goin' down slow

You're the article babe

The genuine thing

And when that guy comes by
With his diamond ring
It doesn't feel right

And you tell him so
So you buy your ticket home
And you're going down slow


Wait a minute
What's this?

We're losing altitude
Hand over fist
And she's goin' down fast
