Belly up in the stairs
This old star is floating
Honest to God
What a devil of a lie traded in for it all…
Black tie¨
Just a little more each time
He shuffles numbers till his number dies
And the 7.37 will catch his fall
Belly up belly up belly up
No sleep until it‘s all done
Five hours sleep
Four hours pass, how long will we last?
I’m only eight years old, pal
Only indigo, indigo
Life on a thread …
