[Verse 1]
Lady in waiting
Lady in pain
Lady in tatters
Lady insane

[Verse 2]
Lost your position
Lost all your cash
Your disposition
Is ready to crash

[Verse 3]
Once you were blue blood
Once you were high
Gone is the jet set
Gone is the guide

[Verse 4]
Gone is the sadness
Gone is the silk
You're in Manhattan
On soup, bread and milk

[Verse 5]
Lady in trouble
Lady alone
Lady whose bubble
The lady has blown
[Verse 6]
Cold in the alley
Warmed by the flame
Of society pages
That carried your name

[Verse 7]
Once you were stunning
Once you were great
Now, you are stunned by
A cruel twist of fate

[Verse 4]
Gone is the sadness
Gone is the silk
Here in Manhattan
On soup, bread and milk

[Outro]
Lady in waiting
Lady in waiting
Lady in waiting
