Here she comes again With vodka in her veins Been playing with a spike She couldn't get it right Splendor in silver dress Velocity possessed The world was hers and then It fell apart again I don't need anyone to hurt me No, not anyone at all Because my so-called friends have left me And now I don't care at all Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone
