[Excerpt from "Crime Classics"]
Narrator: "She was found wandering through the city clothed in night apparel. She drank and raved over her broken hopes. She was found groping in the dark through the halls of public buildings. And one day, she was no longer young."
Henrietta: "Sit with me for a while. Talk to me. Where did you go, when you went from me long ago? You always go away! And there's always the sound of you going away. And why do I come here? And remember. Remember what? Remember what?"
[Verse 1]
She was sexy she was sweet
Running barefoot in the street
Sipping wine out of a flask
Drinking vodka by the glass
Yeah she used to knock 'em back
As fast as they would line them up
Still sexy but she's sad
And the headache's coming on
Only dancing out of habit
She doesn't recognize the song
How can the nights be getting long
When time feels like it's speeding up
She used to crush the pill right between her fingers
It used to kill the feeling but now the feeling lingers
And she did the drugs for fun
But now she does them just to stay up
Just to stay up [x4]
