Coming Down

she's lived in thirteen cities coming down, gets to this one
and it's high time that she made a change inside
'cos nothing’s working overtime, it's all too soft and cosy
she is driving slowly in a volvo, cutting down the dotted line

coming down, she's coming down,
she's gonna make her mark when she hits the new town

she moved to test her mettle now she's feeling so unsettled
left her home and family now she's high and dry
passing windows, passing people, past the point of st mark's steeple
she can never go back to the life she left behind

coming down, she's coming down
she's gonna make her mark when she hits the new town
coming down, she’s coming down now
gonna make one hell of a mess when she hits the ground
ten seconds from now

she believes in self-expression, likes to create a good impression
doesn't know a better way to cure the blues
completes her master stroke now, got her name in every paper
won't her mother be surprised when she hears the news
