One silver dollar buys his confidence, she can buy her temprament   She stubs her toe by accident   When it still hurts he covers his mouth and shrugs concern   Turns up the television   Bottles of something strong for the drinking late   For somethings breaking, somethings breaking down   He's watching her go down   Watching her go down   She says she doesn't wanna be around   She doesn't wanna be around   She calls a taxi   Thought there was money in her half   And a pocket full of gum and tattered poetry   And wonder if the room leaks half as much as this street   Walks in the middle of the road, like a building   She's got a problem with authority and anything she can drink   But she can't say no to fans   I can't stand a civilised world, no instinct for her survival   We are watching her go down   We are watching her go down   She says she doesn't wanna be around   She doesn't wanna be around   She says she doesn't wanna be around   She doesn'ty wanna be around   She says being human is so hard
