[Verse 1]
High life, sing me a sweet song
You used to think I was grand
Downtown Chelsea and Soho
I held the world in my hand
[Verse 2]
I flew the Concorde to Paris
Sniffed lines of cocaine for free
Champagne, mangoes for breakfast
Warm nights and dawns by the sea
[Chorus]
OD'ed
In the afternoon
With her diamonds and pearls
And a burnt spoon
[Verse 3]
Now I'm a little bit older
And I'm in need of a friend
I've got some pills and some liquor
And soon I'll see you again
[Chorus]
OD'ed
In the afternoon
With her diamonds and pearls
And a burnt spoon
Honey
What you gonna do
When your beauty and youth
Are behind you?
